Good evening everyone!

Today was a busy day. And I must say getting the engine out was harder than expected haha.

luckily I had some help

I am curious. On the back of the engine block it states 2.0 B. Where does the B stand for?

Well, that was harder to do than expected. Luckily it is in.

Thinking of spot welding and sealing.

Nice progress! I’m jealous of your three little instruments in Italian, that’s great.

Thanks!!

I know where to get another set. Although the seller knows its price. Downside: km/h which isnt really suitable in the states.

True but my Speedo is already km/h as I’m not in the states.

I am thrilled that you put so much energy into your spider to get it back on the road! Exhausting but great project! Good luck furthermore!!! 👍

I think a vintage Alfa Romeo Spider is worth every hour invested in its preservation!!!

Makes me think of two face. But slow and steady wins the race.

What do you guys think?

Rosso 514. I do not like the current duco Brown.

Looks like you're doing some very nice work. It's funny to me that California is exporting Spiders now, but I guess that's where the majority of good ones are in the world these days!

Honestly it's hard to go wrong with red on a Spider, and Alfa always did nice original reds. Personally I'm partial to the fly yellow variant they used on the S4, though I don't think that was an option on the S2 if you're going for originality.

Looks good, and as long as you like it thats all that really matters!

I've always been partial to the darker reds used on the 30's Alfas . . .

that is also a lovely color. Though for me not for the more “modern” spiders

almost done prepping for the primer. It will be painted in a few weeks.
