!979 in GA with new driver

Postby JohnGalt » Sun Nov 27, 2016 9:24 pm

Hi all!
Long ago I had a '78 and an '80 Spider. After about 20 years driving oversized vehicles I'm back into the smaller 124 and loving it. Like any older car it needs some little repairs but I'm fortunate in that the last owner had made some serious investment in this car like rebuilding the engine 8000 miles back, ball joints, brakes lines, ect. Still, I'm looking forward to tinkering on it.

I already added some relays to get the voltage up at the headlights so the next project is probably going to be getting those wipers up to speed.
