The Spider is soon to be finished and i have already been test driving ! Interior is Complete.
I was kind of worried about installing the convertible top myself, but to my surprise it was not too difficult. I had good help from my son and we started slow and used the time needed to do the job. Its a cloth top and fitment is very well made.
The engine started up quite easy, but i notised right away that it did not perform very well. After some investigation i found the termo time switch to be faulty. It did not shut off and when i disconected the cold start valve the engine performed very well. Next is to have a four wheel allignment and then the fun beginns
