Fiat Dino Forum (FDF)

18 months. Getting close now. I think I'll be taking it home this weekend. New leather interior, top, paint, windscreen, wiper mechanism, fuel system, electronic ignition and distributor, clutch, column switches, ignition switch, tail lights, restored steering wheel, and I forgot how many other part...

Wow that is awesome information! I have seen the parts book for the 2.0 and it did not show the blanket but I have never seen the 2.4 parts before.

A couple of pics of the progress since Feb. It arrived non- running but we knew the clutch didn't work. Gearbox is out and new flywheel being replaced (too rusted to resurface). New complete clutch assembly (it actually was new 20 years ago) and all new hydraulics and springs going in. We are adding...

I had the car shipped to Las Vegas in January to a shop called O'gara motoring. I know all the mechanics there very well and they were quite interested to take on the projec...
