I hate the feeling of it irritating the skin. You want to keep working and by the end of the day, you look like you have wind burn. :shock:

Funny how so many of us can look at a box like that, immediatly identify most of the parts, and we can tell you what generation Spider you have!

Water pump and front crank pullys indicate it is 77 or later. If that is the water pump heater tube in the extreme far right corner, then the lack of the extra coolant port for the automatic choke indicates it is a fuel injected car. The motor mount under the fuel filler neck with the extra long tab confirms its a FI car. My guess is 1982?

Pope you need to build yourself a blast cabinet!

What are you going to do with those parts, Pope? If I had it to do all over again, I believe I'd have my parts powder coated.
