New timing belt and water pump today.

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

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.

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.

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.

Today's progress.

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





Oh, I removed the goofy second grill emblem.

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?

Lots of yellow Spiders hiding out every where...

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

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.

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