The Beginning of another adventure...

So I sold the MGB and decided to replace her with a new project: 1977 Alfa Romeo Spider. I bought her off of Bring a Trailer, had her shipped from California to Maine, and started immediately tending to her multiple needs this past weekend (Nov. 23, 2019). I was first able to take her for a quick spin in the misty rain (top down of course) once the deliver person backed her out of the delivery truck. After driving the old girl, there were many obvious areas that will need attention:     1.  She would not really maintain an idle once warmed up.     2.  The handling was pretty poor turning left (felt loose)- turning right felt o.k.  Could be tire     pressures     3.  Most electrical did not work (tail lights, hazards, heater fan, interior lights, etc.)     4.  The center console is worn out from use.  Will need a replacement or repair if possible.   ...
