Fiat Dino Forum (FDF)

Hi you guys, I want to share also my ongoing restauration with my Fiat Dino Spider 2.4 in the UK with you guys (VIN 1312). I am the third owner and I do have that car since 10 years using it for many lovely trips to Italy. But it was obvious that a full restauration was needed at some point. My deci...

If I look at every detail... like e.g. the middle console with all the levers and the respctive surroundings... it looks absolutely flawless.

Yes, a very beautiful car... one of the last ones. I have the VIN 1492; maybe they have seen each other on the assembly line back then. And one of the best colors. As I am always saying... a restoration of a Dino Spider close to perfection can easily consume 100-150K and more. I know that people do ...

I know Mark since a long time and up to that point he was do...

Looks to me more or less like the same car... no pictures from underneath which Iwould request first. Compression test should be demanded next. Overall, looks like being repainted once but you cannot tell by this shiny outer what this car is all about. And...the Italiens know what these cars do cost...

Great decision... and I wish you all the best for this project. Everything, which is painted in black at the bottom of the car looks to me like previous repairs... once the paint is off... you will discover some weldings most likely. Nevertheless, if you open the spots at the A-pilar you might want ...
