Re: interior leak under dash...?

If you've recently washed the car - or been in the rain.... check the drain connection that starts in the trough holding the windshield wiper motor, and runs to the transmission tunnel. On my '67 coupe, it's a large rubber hose - came undone at the top and resulted in water into the interior. Rick W...

Re: 2.0 Coupe near completion

I love coincidence....

I took my blue Dine to Grey - and you're taking your grey Dino to Blue... and those titanium mufflers are for a 1098.... I park my 1098 next to the Dino...

Re: Wipers don't work

On the mechanical side of things going wrong.... I have a 2.0 coupe - so it may be different on your 2.4.... My experience was similar, everything seemed fine until I put the blades on... With the blades off, it worked fine - but looking closely with the blades off, it was clear that the attachment ...

Re: Steering box removal.

WD40 won't really work to break the rust barrier. In the US the best is PB Blaster - try for an equivalent penetrating fluid in Spain. Apply fluid and some heat - wait overnight - then more fluid and heat... Once it's separated you'll really want to clean any parts that were exposed to the fluid sin...

Re: 2.0 Coupe near completion

It's Ferrari Grigio Silverstone Metallic.... used on the '99 599 GTB... seemed the closest we could find in a modern paint that matched the original Grigio Silverstone... It was very metallic -= so we lessened the amount of flake just a bit.

2.0 Coupe near completion

It's been a long process with most of the work done in the garage.... Every nut and bolt restoration with the body taken down to the metal and no filler used ( but there were a lot of coats of primer ! ). Still some work to do and it hasn't been started yet. But we're moving to Portland Oregon, so w...

Re: Controlling your engine Temp from Dash

The 2.0 coupe has a 6 inch forward section the length of the dash - this is the part I was referring... looks like the 2.4 doesn't have this 'feature'
