Hello folks,
My name is Pete, I'm new to the forum. I have a great deal to learn, but I'd like to start down the right road. I have wanted to restore an older Spider for years. I am a mechanic, I own my business, and I've decided now is the time. I am looking at several Spiders 850 / 1000 from years 1970 to 1980. All ragtops. All in various states of disrepair. I am not afraid of tearing into it like a kid on Christmas morning, but I wanted to ask the group: is there any years / models to stay away from? Any particularly bad / difficult cars, or particularly hard to find parts? I know I'm about to set myself up with quite a long term project, but I thought I'd ask you first. Thank you for your thoughts!
