New spider owner!,

Hello! I just joined and purchased a 72 Spider 1600 sport. Bringing it home tomorrow and can't wait to detail and clean her up. I'm excited to see what I can do with this car!

Pics, or it didn't happen!
BTW, if it's a 1975, then it's an 1800. 1600 was available up to 1973.

So far, I've found fuel system issues. Tomorrow starts the review of all things fuel.
