Hello from the Heartland!

[onemorespyder]

I'm Darrell from central Kansas and have just become the proud owner of an 80 model 2000 Spider that is to become the primary car for my significant other Candy. Im a regular contributor and dyed in the wool fanatic of the Alfa Romeo forum called Alfa BB. If any here are Alfa fans and haven't been to this wonderful resource then do visit. Worth the time. Today just brought home the 124 that we located on E-Bay. Body is rust free as it was a california car most of it's life and the previous owner had put quite a lot of effort into fresh suspension bits, new IAP Red springs, Konis, fresh conv. top and an Autopower roll bar. Car is currently in black primer and is nearly ready for a fresh respray. My 76 2L. Alfa Spider is mechanically sorted with fresh engine rebuild, new top, fresh interior and also ready for the final respray. Along with the 124 came a spare set of vented cossdrilled brake rotors (same as just installed on the car) and a gear reduction starter. I may be convinced to part wih these but would possibly like to keep the starter for future needs. Anyway, just wanted to say hi and pave the way for future questions that I'll surely have as I wrench this newest Spider into another headturner.
Best regards, Darrell

Hi Darrell,

There are several Fiat ppl in Kansas, and there will be an event on the first weekend in June near Grand Lake in Oklahoma.

I used to go to the AlfaBB, as I had a GTV6. I loved that car, I think it has one of the loveliest exhaust notes of any car!

You want to keep the GR starter in the long run, sooner or later the OEM one will fail
