Hey everyone, I enjoy reading about & seeing your cars. Here's the '82 Spider I'm restoring for my wife. Body, top & eng done, interior & chassis to go.

That's what she says too, but here's my baby, (neglected because of the Spider). I did lure her in with promises of weekend trips to the wine country.

well there's the link to your user name! I see another Detroit iron convert in the making once you drive the Spider.

I see what I have to look forward to. I just picked up a 78 124 and It needs new interior. Any suggestions?

htchevyii · Post by **htchevyii** » Tue Feb 19, 2008 11:17 pm

I'm saving the interior for last. So far I've had the car almost a year & driven it about 40 miles, but hopefully that will change this summer. Good Luck!

I finally got to the back, think I'm almost ready for a test drive!

Looks good. Did you research the accessories you used for the rebuild. IF so, can you let me know what I should look for when I go to purchase my brakes. Thx

just out of curiosity, what brand rotors did you buy? I was talking to a Brembo rep at a trade show yesterday and he gave me all of the info regarding drilled and slotted rotors. All of the Brembo info says a slotted rotor should have the slots cut the opposite direction of yours

Mark, I looked on their web site and it shows a pic with the same slots as pic above and another one going the other way?
