nearly finished restoration: 67 Fiat Dino Spider

[Inventi]

18 months. Getting close now. I think I'll be taking it home this weekend. New leather interior, top, paint, windscreen, wiper mechanism, fuel system, electronic ignition and distributor, clutch, column switches, ignition switch, tail lights, restored steering wheel, and I forgot how many other parts. A basket case becomes a swan. I was lucky. I found one virtually rust free and very complete with a recent rebuilt motor. I have the Fiat Dino Fender badges and Fiat wheel caps. Last things to be installed.

Quite the adventure! We saved one more car from being parted out.

Congrats... it is always worth it and makes me happy as well that another sample is saved again. Have a lot of fun with it.

I am restoring the interior and convertible top of my 1967 Dino and was curious how you sourced replacement parts for the convertible top? We ordered the canvas top from Dino Parts but we are also in need of the bows that are woven into the top and provide the structure. The originals are badly damaged and can't be reused and so we are looking at options including building our own from other materials but thought I would ask if there was a source?

Thank you!

Well done, thanks for posting the glorious pics.
I found a literal "barn find" well storage unit car about 3 years ago in Oregon. Like you I'm lucky, I've only found 3 small areas of rust in the whole car, a '67 Spider.
My restoration has been slow, as moved to Portugal about a year ago and had to put the whole car back together for shipping. You can PM me with this answer, any idea what the restoration cost? Im upto $75k incl the $25k buy, and I estimate another $35 to go! But its a 100% tear down.
