- Background
- The car was a wedding present to me from my beautiful wife. i don't think she knew what she was getting into., Still very supportive of the car till today.
bought the car with absolutely no miles on it. It was just imported into the country a few days before i bought it. i have all the paperwork somewhere in my house. But since the car is not going anywhere.. i guess it does not matter.
The last time i drove this car was back in 2010. Had to park it as i was having some clutch problems. upon investigation found out that it was the throw out bearing and one of the fins of the clutch broke off. However being in the business that i have been in its hard to find the time to focus on the job at hand.
Fast forwarding till this year. I had a brilliant idea of doing an awd conversion on the spyder. so here we are a few months later. And the project is almost done. will update as time goes along.
