OK... lemme be the first ta say... keep up the good work! Perfect color for the 124/2000s!
Red weekend warrior. Cromadora wheels. I have been restoring this car with mostly original 1979 parts but for a high performance Weber carburator. I have used it about 5,000 miles a year since 1999 as I maintain/improve the car and the paintwork suffers.

rconlonThank you I call it revlon red or hooker red. I still run the every weekend as my regular driver and just returned from 1000mile trip to our Missouri meet. Cheers Ron
WachukoWhat is it like living with one? Parts availability, rust, reliability? What about the sound? and dynamics/handling? Is there a good forum that you would recommend for these cars? Trying to do all my homework before taking the plunge. Thank you!
rconlonGot to mirafiori.com or flu.org and browse around. A forum will often give a good idea of the community and repair issues as well as prices. Parts supply is good and rust can be bad on abused cars. A modern restoration will last a long time and give good service as long as it is not salt/snow/winter driven. I am pleased with mine. Driving experience is good and can be easily upgraded up to track levels. It is an excellent highway cruiser. The keys are a clean body and good restoration. Buy the best ($8-10k or re-do a sound car to your satisfaction. Cheers Ron
WachukoThank you. On to browsing those site. I have two cars to look at (one in Texas and one in Georgia), let's see how that goes. Thanks again.
rconlonBy the way, my brother had a Midget for 20 years and started on a second restoration but visited me 3 years ago to roam Texas in my Spider. He was impressed and sold his MG and bought an 83 Pininfarina Spider that was a fresh restoration and has not looked back after putting more miles on it in one year than the last 20 with the LBC. Cheers Ron
