Jeff,
What you see is what you get! Moss does not recognize the older Spits
at all!
There are actually quite a few parts that are interchangeable between
the early and late Spits. There are also some parts that are
interchangeable between Spits and other cars that Moss supports. I only
wish someone in that organization would take the initiative to address
that issue.
Regards,
Joe
