Full Restauration
Posted: Wed Jun 04, 2025 3:29 pm
Hi you guys,
I want to share also my ongoing restauration with my Fiat Dino Spider 2.4 in the UK with you guys (VIN 1312). I am the third owner and I do have that car since 10 years using it for many lovely trips to Italy. But it was obvious that a full restauration was needed at some point. My decision was made to pass this car to Mark Devaney to 24hundred in the UK. I am from Munich and so I sent the car over 3.5 years ago to the UK.
This is the first fully documented restauration of a dino spider via video. I also share this with you so to bring some traffic to his youtube channel because it is worth it.
My Dino was definitely amongst the worst in terms of rust and how to make things wrong in a long life of a Dino. It might also be interesting for some of you as Mark builds some tools again for certain metal sheets which are not available anymore on the market and which you will not find anywhere; kind of blue prints.
So.. as the car is still in the middle of... I will continue to post new videos once they are out from now on. If you want to see the full story and all the documented hours of video material you start off with the following

and the all the way along until the latest so far

This car was still wearing its original color Rosso Vivo / black interior and is ending up in the very end in this color combination again.
So, in case someone wants to undergo a full restauration it could be useful to contact Mark as he knows all details and differences between 2.0 and 2.4 spiders.
Have fun with it.
