Here's my Jerrari Spider. Most of it is original to what Jerrari did to it back in '72 but the Judson Magneto and air cleaner have been replaced.

You can buy connectors for the relays where all 4 connections are held together in a plastic connector so they can't short to an object or come off.
Nice job on the ground pod!

Hey all,

So nothing like as nice as Alan's, and I don't have a "before" photo (although those that have seen it and despaired in the past understand that this is much nicer than it was!).

I'm trying to stick with the oily-rag, unrestored look, but I had to buy and add the magneti marelli sticker off ebay as I thought it kind of looks ok on the yellow cover.

Call this a before as I just bought the car. Image
Here we are 6 months later with a 4-2-1, orange wires (hard to find - had to shorter from a VW set), and a bit of paint.
Image
Here it is 2 years later. Just added the aluminum radiator, water pump and the hood liner all from AR. Car has never been better-starts right up even after sitting a while, purrs like a kitten and is a joy to drive:
