Fiat Dino hardtop restoration help
I have purchased a hardtop for my 2.4 Dino Spyder. It is a Marcplas one ( as apposed to the Pininfarina one ). Does anyone have one that they can post or send me some good pictures of the top from all sides and the inside ? It would be appreciated.

Here is a picture of the top. Any help would be appreciated.
Re: Fiat Dino hardtop restoration help
I may be able to help. I have a hardtop that does not have a Pininfarina tag on it and I have multiple photos of it. Instead of posting them here, if you go to the Yahoo fiat Dino forum, they are posted in my photo folder... "#1186". If you have problems, let me know and I can post them here

Charlie,
it would be fantastic if you could post some photos here. I am sure this is also of interest for other forum visitors.

Re: Fiat Dino hardtop restoration help
I am restoring a hardtop for a 2.0 liter spider. Are the 2.0 and 2.4 hardtops different? I heard somewhere that only the 2.4 liter cars had hardtops yet this one came from a 2.0 liter car.
I am in the process of restoring the top.
How do I post images?

Ivan, for posting images just click on the tab "Upload attachment" below the text input window.thecarnut wrote: How do I post images?
Then add pictures via the "Select file" dialog and upload them via the "Add the file" button.
Good luck!
Re: Fiat Dino hardtop restoration help
I will add photos later this weekend. It will be interesting to see how this thread progresses. I have been trying to find out information regarding hard tops for years... rumors of a 2.0 and a 2.4 version, but no documentation. I have been trying to sell my hardtop for years but can't get a deal done because the thing is too expensive to crate and ship!

Re: Fiat Dino hardtop restoration help
Ivan,
There were two different makers of the hardtops. Pininfarina and Marcplas. They look very similar. The marcplas one is the picture that I posted. The Pininfarina one has a smooth vinyl top and a thicker chrome band around the rear window. You could order a hardtop for a 2.0 car as well as a 2.4 car. Although most were ordered for the 2.4 cars.

Here are some photos of my top. Someone drilled a hole, perhaps for an antenna and later put a plug.
Let me know if you need photos of a specific area and I will be glad to take it.
