Dutch 2.4 Spider
Posted: Mon Jul 24, 2017 8:15 pm
Hello everyone, I just registered and thought I should introduce myself! My name is Tim and I live in Holland, where quite a few Dino's live. I don't actually own a Dino, but I am fortunate enough to be able to drive one very often as my father owns a 2.4 Spider .
The car is definitely what you call a driver, it has had some less than perfect body work done to it in the past and it was changed from the original black to red. When bought about ten years ago (thank god, nowhere near affordable anymore...) it had 2.0 bumpers, a small aftermarket steering wheel and a botched frame centre console (the part with the radio etc.), among other things. The first two are now the correct items, again fortunately both acquired soon after purchase. The last part we are hoping to fix soon, we are working on getting the wood made as we have a good replacement frame.
Someday we will restore it (and do as much as possible ourselves) and return it to the original colour, but as it's going to need a lot of body work done to it $$$ , that probably won't happen too soon. Meanwhile we'll fettle with it every know and then, but above all drive it
I'm sure this forum will continue to be of great help and maybe I can even help some else every now en then...
I know this is not-done on a car forum, but I haven't actually got a decent picture of the Dino, sorry
Edit: I've found a picture somewhere
