1979 Alfa Romeo Spider (Red)

Modifications

Drivetrain
Clean, needs careful attn.
The Weber’s, headers, Engine clean, outstanding, clean up a few holes, touch up paint. Will be Show winner, ( local shows )
Interior
Has nice seat overhaul, have door ‘cards’ on the way, (9/19 from Centerline)
2019-20 winter will see new carpet.
Exterior
Paint is good, 10’ rule. Lot of tools dropped chips, few door dings, where a door would not hit?
Only rust is spare tire (Which it has) well, will probably grind the spots in the Bottom, re build, with epoxy, little glass.
Plan, deflate, front bumper new grill. SOMETHING, rear bumper, both look terrible.
No plan for repaint.
Audio
ZERO, made a cover plate, some owner had a problem, I guess.
Suspension
Good but distant plan would include Urithane bushings.
Has recent New springs, Red? & Koni shocks.
At the moment 9/19 ‘tight & right’.
Fun Drive
Wheel and Tire
Tires New, wheels, a Alfa Aluminum (mag look) spoke, beauties.
