I restored my seats about a year ago with new foams and covers. I found it to be like any other job I've performed on my car: impossible at first, then merely daunting, and by the time I was getting

This breaks my heart. But, to echo what was said on this list before, we're glad you're alive Bob. Better the car goes bye-bye than you. If it were me, that $6K would buy me a nice "new" Spitfire. $

I know this sounds weird, because of course you know your Spitfires Jeff, but are you sure that it is a Spit pictured there? If they would use an early Spit to advertise an item for MkIv's and 1500's

I live in Illinois and require a front license plate on my '78. On my car, the "horizontal" holes beneath the bumper are made "vertical" through the simple use of two small 90-degree brackets. A prev

Hello everyone, The dash lights dimmer on my '78 is on the fritz. Thanks in advance for any thoughts. Its first symptom was a reluctance to bring the dash lights up to full brightness. After a while

Less than one month ago I installed a header on my '78 Spitfire and so far I have had no trouble. It didn't really increase pickup by any noticeable amount, but then again I am running the stock sing

In Illinois, we don't have any safety inspection whatsoever. The state doesn't care if your car falls apart at speed, killing all occupants... as long as it has clean exhaust emissions as it careens

My car always takes about 5-10 mins to show fully warmed up on the temp gauge (but it's okay to drive away before that). It takes about that long no matter what the weather. Remember that 80 degrees
