I haven't had much time on the forum yet, but I don't see too much old Spit action.
I bought mine 1 1/2 years ago , and did a bit of work on the fuel system last summer: refurbished tank, replaced fuel float, replaced lines/hoses, new fuel pump/filter, carbs cleaned/replaced with used set, new linkage. The entire system was gunked up with old gas.
There was a little less than 3 gallons of gas in the tank. As near as I could tell, the car had been sitting for 3+ years prior to me getting it. I did manage to start the car this Spring for the first time! A couple of hours later, she was on the road!
Since then, I have replaced/or repaired several other bits. I had to repair the parking brake cable, glove box rails (new trays), engine bay splash guards, rocker arm cover (stripped and repainted), lots of suspension pieces, adjustable Spax shocks all around, and boot panels (had to remove a lot of old paint and rust first [shock!]). The braking system has a new slave cylinder, rotors, pads, shoes, parking brake cables... Bled that and adjusted the rear shoes.
The entire street is excited about the project. The car also came with a new soft top, and the hard top and a rollbar (in the wrapper - which I won't be using).
