    Hello all,

    I've started to take apart my 68 Fiat Dino Spider. I've posted some of the photos on the web. Feel free to PM or post any advice, comments or questions.

    Gallery will be updated every few days.

    Best,
    Fred

    Wow. You are really stripping it down.
    How long do you think it will take?
    where are you sourcing your parts?
    who are you tapping for technical expertise?
    Good luck!

    Looks like a great car to start a restoration project on: good body, minimal rust and all things seemingly in place.

    Cool car. Best of luck!

    I've got to do the same with my '66 MGB one of these days.

    Wow, thanks for the photos. Car looks great in the shots.

    99% of the parts are coming from Germany and England. Quite a few of the parts are from other Fiats (124, 130) so they're not too expencive... some parts are exclusive, so they are very expencive.

    This stage of the project is being done at Alfa Auto Clinic in Baldwin. Their shop looks like hell, but they are great guys with a real passion for what they do.

    I'll post more photos in the days to come.

    Fred
