finally found a spider in Australia

Postby jules124 » Tue Oct 18, 2016 2:17 am

Hi everyone
I have been checking out this forum and searching for a spider for years now, and finally found my fairly straight and rust free 75 spider recently. It was a bit of a barn find, not been driven properly for about 15 years, so I have been sorting out a few problems with car by and electrics for the last few weeks.
I will post photos soon when I work out how to :D
Cheers, Jules from Australia

Thanks for the warm welcome, I have been busy with my spider sorting out carry and electrics, and best of all driving :D. I am located in Adelaide, Mick124. I have been following your resto on Facebook and loving it, cheers
