Parts removed from my Alfa Romeo Spider for carburettor conversion

With everything off the car, it will also give me a good opportunity to check for rust behind the covers and trim.

BHPian Jeroen recently shared this with other enthusiasts:

I have just come back from our Annual Spider trip with Peter. It will be in a separate thread.

As always we had a great time! My Spider drove very well. All the various jobs over the last 18 months have made a tremendous difference. The oil consumption is still a little on the high side. So later this autumn, we will take the cylinder head off and re-hone the four cylinders.

In a few weeks, both the soft top itself and the collapsable frame will be dealt with. The frame will be taken off completely, sandblasted and powder coated. The top itself and all fastenings will be replaced completely.

With everything off the car, it will also give me a good opportunity to check for rust behind the covers and trim. Fingers Crossed!

This morning I picked up all the items Marc had removed from the Spider for the carburettor conversion. It's quite a lot as you can see. I have added some of the spares I have accumulated over the years as well. Peter is checking what he might want to have. Next to his 1980 green Coda Tronco Spider he also owns an identical S3 to mine.
