Hello everyone!
I just picked up a '79 for a "father/stepdaughter" project. This will be her "sometimes" car.
Replacing all engine gaskets and valve adjust plus manifold swap and DFEV carb. Then new exhaust and A arms/tie rods.
Once mechanically sound the interior needs full replacement. The paint is ok from a 15 year old spray but there are a few bubbles in the usual locations. Eventually!
Looking forward to this project and especially to all the wisdom on the site! Any and all advice welcome! Any locals please give me a shout! I'm in Suwanee/Cumming/Johns Creek area
Tom

Deal!
I should have engine, exhaust and suspension done by May - then the interior!

I have a motorcycle as well. As you know,we live in the middle of some of the best driving/riding roads in the country! I have met people from all over the world that come this way just to ride the roads.Obviously 'The Dragon' is the best known,but too crowded for me.We have some just as good as the 'Tail' right here!

I am from Lafayette Ga currently putting back together an 82 spider. Glad to see some others from the area.
