1969 850 Special Spider

Post by stello3 »

Hello,
My name is Sandra. I love this forum. I wish it was available when my dad and I restored the 850 in '89. The head cracked in '94, and a mechanic tried to charge me double for repairs and parts. I brought my car back but not before the mechanic tore the engine appart and stripped it of some parts. It has been sitting at my mom's house since. I brought it to my house on 9/15/12 and am now ready to start the renovation. I will post my progress on "restoration" and "850". Here is what it looks like now.

Hello and welcome. There is plenty of help here to get your spider back on the road. It looks like he done a number on it. Is that the block on the floorboard ?

Yes the block was on the floorboard. The rest was scattered all over the car. This is what I found.

I believe the only thing i'm missing is the head.
My husband will be in San Francisco in a week. He will check out the area for a parts car.
