I've sold my soul... Now what?

[Benjamin Kaupp <bkaupp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, I am quasiofficially one of you now.
A few days ago I put down a deposit on a beautiful little 
silver/black/burgundy '78 Spider with not a single modification 
anywhere on it (except for an oil press. gauge in the engine 
compartment). It is also "documented" as a single owner, 46,000 mile 
example (though if that's true, those were some pretty hard miles). 
Anyway...
the known problems:
driver's seat needs to be reupholstered
needs new carpet
needs schroth rallye 3 harnesses and possibly a roll bar
engine needs detailing
clutch needs to be adjusted (or I need to get used to it)
needs tires (not really, but I hate Michelin)
has some light rust (didn't they come from the factory like this?)

She runs beautifully and that engine sounds great. Now I just need one 
more paycheck and one less Audi (seriously people, buy it from me for 
cheap, it'll take you skiing when you don't wanna drive the Alfa) and 
I'm good to go. I can't wait to start asking all y'all for help while 
my new baby languishes mysteriously broken. (License plate ideas 
include ARAKNID and BRKDOWN)

'78 Alfa Spider (I'd have bought it just for the badly translated 
manual)
