My new '75 124 Spider (new pictures)

Post by gwb »

Just got a my first Spider. She's a '75 124 with over 25 years over detailed service history and receipts. I'm still trying to figure out the mods on her, so if you see anything I haven't figured out, let me know!

-Dual Weber 42 DCNFs w/ ITG filters
-Alquati Cremona manifold
-Magneti Marelli Plex ignition w/ Magnecor wires
-Alquati intake/exhaust cams
-Full Ansa exhaust w/ header
-Lancia wheels

I also made a video showing an air leak from one of the carbs (on my to do list)

Nice. Sounds good after you get rid of that leak.

I'm also in the Atlanta area (Snellville) and was wanting to know if you had any suggestions for a mechanic. Specifically, I am looking at getting the timing belt done eventually.

GWB,

Looking good. Nice to see another yellow one on the board. Here's mine, a 76. No rust on this one either, it grew up in California.

If you are going to redo the body think about taking off the stuck on side trim. IMHO it doesn't do much for the lines. But of course that's just me.

I don't usually go for the spoiler look but yours is cool. Might have to rethink that. Your's sits nice too. Bet its been lowered. Mine sits way too high.

Good luck with it, but with no rust you can't go wrong. Anything else can be fixed.

Hi Exit, thanks for the kind words. I have not thought to remove the trim, but it does look great without it. I may have to consider that! Mine does have the IAP springs all the way around, so it does sit a bit lower.

What I've been up to lately. May reinstall rear bumper- not sure yet. Turn signal relocation kit is by grittracing- great service and really nice kit which I am real happy with
