New member, new restoration fun findings
Just saying hello from the Bluegrass State. New to me 79' bought from Atlanta, was in Wisconsin, came from California. It ran barely so now starts some of the fun stuff. Just found this and thought I would share.

Welcome and good luck on the project.
I have a few 79 parts leftover from my Spyder build like front bumper lighting, a complete spider intake and legs, a rear black console, and some other stuff, if you need anything.

LOL , I really wasn't trying to tease. I just found it wonderful that someone took the time to sign their name where it would never be seen. A certain amount of pride must have been on the line that day, with that person. So, as to show you the sorry state of what I am resurrecting. Here is a candid shot of the old girl.

So you bought this car on FB, right?
Very rare color and worth the effort to restore it properly, as long as you have time and $$$.
Change the title of this thread highlighting the year and color and keep us updated with it's progress!
Love it-Hoi

Why do the speedometer go to 85 mph or 140 kph only? I have never seen that over here in Europe. That is way below the top speed. On all my three cars the speedometer ends at 300 kph.

It apparently bounced around Ebay for a while. I bought it from the guy who bought it from the guy in Texas who had it on Ebay. Not sure about the color at this point and the interior was crispy from California and Texas sun so it needs a complete redo. Right now its determining the extent of neglect. Engine is cleaning up well and I am sorting out the fuel system. The wiring harness is another matter entirely including the car was started by a push button. Most of the wiring has been hacked up over the years. Battery tray is the only rusted out area that I am finding which will need to be cut and replaced.

I'm glad this is getting some attention! Great color, inside & out! I was going to bid on that one when it was available, but my garage is more than full.
Most definitely keep this thread going with photos & updates!
