	I bought this 1980 Spitfire after seeing it on on Craig's List and learned through club members that they knew the seller. After driving it around the seller's neighborhood, I knew it needed a lot of work but since my yellow Spitfire was not ready yet, I thought that I could take it to the show and later fix it up. Well, three weeks was not enough time because it has electrical troubles that I was not able to resolve quickly. I was going to drive it anyway with my son, but the morning of the show a rain shower came over our area and the wipers would not work (even though they had worked a few days before). It was not raining at the show site, but for the first time in 17 years, I went to my club's annual show without a British car. :-( [April 2016]
	The original black rubber bumpers are in really bad shape. I checked with all the parts companies and none supply replacements. I have seen pictures of 79 and 80 Spitfires converted to chrome bumper. So I started that by doing the rear bumper first because it's easier than the front. I'll work on the front bumper later.

	Here is this 1980 Spitfire in my back yard after a country drive. Still have not replaced the front bumper with chrome, but I would like to sell this one in order to focus on getting my yellow Spitfire back on the road. [Summer 2018]
