Rebirth of a Dino
Hello everyone, after 5 years in the making my 2000 Spider is reborn. If anyone interested in the crazy enterprise of bringing a wreck back to life, here's a visual journey...

Interior, trim and electrics need some work...
Re: Rebirth of a Dino
And now for the engine…
Re: Rebirth of a Dino
And now for the rebirth part.
As you may have gathered, this car and engine were no more than a bunch of rusted metal bits.
Fist order of business was to clean the engine and find out which parts were missing:
The sump was later discovered to be leaky. It is very difficult to weld magnesium. In the end, the sump was lined in aluminum
The crankshaft was cleaned and balanced. New pistons were ordered
