I’m fairly new to the forum. I bought a 2001 white spyder from a guy at the transmission shop for $1400. Guess what? It needs a transmission and other stuff. Also- it’s got less than 4000miles on the new motor
The bad:
Top - 10/18 GARZAS AND SUMMIT
Seats - 10/18 GARZAS
Smelly carpet - UPDATE: fixed with a new top GARZAS and Summit
Bad trans - 3/19 SC
Bad axles - 3/19 rock auto
2 codes for MAF - 3/19 SC
Misfire in 2&4 every now and then (injectors/coils/plugs)- 3/19 SC and pep boys plugs
Missing top left trans mount - 3/19 SC
Missing engine cover - 3/19 SC
Shift knob - 4/19 M-moto (same as the good radiators)
Shift boot - cleaned up ok 3/19
Parking brake trim - found in console 3/19
Worn steering wheel -
Dents in the front left fender and rear right fender - Currently working on myself
Rear and Front bumper needs to be re-fitted for weird body gaps - why won’t it snap in?
Radio doesn’t work - 4/19 crutchfield
O2 sensor heater - 4/19 rock auto
Top Straps and Springs -
Needs paint -
Weather stripping is bad - 5/19 eBay used. I’m not sure if I’m doing these right. I’m still getting gaps.
3rd Brake light mounts are broken -
Plans:
This is a long term project
I’m getting a new top and seats. It’s been dropped off to a local skilled upholstery guy.
I’m looking for a LSD - giving up on it 1/19
I’ll buy axles here or on rock auto
lightweight flywheel (maybe)
I’m planning on doing a tuneup (plugs, coils, injectors) with the MAF mod.
I want to try an android head unit and powered sub mounted somewhere stealthy
Not sure on the steering wheel, shift boot, parking brake yet.
Not sure about the small dents either. - waiting on a good paycheck and starting a PDR service 1/19
