Rook's Rolling Restoration

[ROOK1]

New timing belt and water pump today.

I hope you did the seals too by the look of the lower crank leakage.....

[ROOK1]

I didnt think of it until I was in it and I had already ordered the parts. I have an 1800 I am considering rebuilding and putting in so I should be fine for a while. Hopefully.

[BEEK]

the 1608 is in my opinion a way better engine than a 1800. granted there are those whom say "there is no substatute for cubic inches" but in stock form you should be much happyer with a 1608.

Did you paint the sills/bottom half of the rear fenders black? or was it a P.O.? I really dig the look.

[ROOK1]

It was the previous owner. I am undecided on the look. When I paint it I am going to go all one color and if I dont like it I will paint them black again. He also did the rear valence which is where I am not sure bout the look.

[ROOK1]

Today's progress.

Passed emissions, put in new windshield and gave her a bath.





Oh, I removed the goofy second grill emblem.

[boogiedude]

Is the yellow on your car the original color? Which color code is it? Sorry but you're only one of 3 yellow spiders I've ever seen haha(one is my own) also, what color are you going to repaint it?

[SLOSpider]

Lots of yellow Spiders hiding out every where...

[ROOK1]

Nice car! That is close to the original and future color of mine.

[ROOK1]

Early Spider owners.

On the marker/signal lights. Which is supposed to be the signal, amber or clear?

Mine is set up as the amber as marker clear as signal, but I think that is wrong.

[stefhahn]

It's marker clear, signal amber.
Actually I prefer the clear-clear version. I'm using a amber bulb for the signal.
ciao,
