A very informative and thoughtful restoration video filled with helpful tips and detailed instructions! This will be the next project on my 1987 Spider..
Many thanks for creating this video! Thinking about replacing my broken dashboard with a new one and this is exactly the guide i needed for it to went smooth! 👍
Thank you so much for doing this video. I've wanted to remove my dash for some repairs but was afraid. I will definitely use your video as I attempt remove the dash. Thanks again!!!
Great video! It’s nice to see the details of where to look for the hardware that actually holds the dash in place rather than fumbling around trying to find all of the attachment points. Great tip on using the 24mm socket for the wing nuts. Also, great tip on making new drain tube hoses - I didn’t know you could custom form them like that.
Need to see more videos. I'm resto-modding my 86 into a weekend tripper and Auto-X car. But I enjoy seeing things before I tackle them myself in some cases.
Same here, yt is a place where I always come for initial research. I'm trying to get back to the build trust me, but have some other priorities going on right now...
Very nice video. I have a 1972 so no need to change style but this provides some confidence and suggestions like the drain hose replacement or fixing cracks etc.
Much better. I have a Kamm tail 1971 spider 1300 Junior and half of the pleasure is seiing the exteriors, half is sitting in front of a great dashboard. The other half :) is driving it
great project! I have a 1987 alfa spider veloce that I need to reinstall the binnacle. It's held in by 4 screws from the front. I can't recall if I can just fit it back in behind the steering wheel or do I need to remove/drop the steering column. Anyone have any suggestions? Tnx
This gives me the confidence to pull my dash out. I've already had the mono pod out a couple times. My issue is, I had the fan motor replaced and it still won't move much air. Something is wrong with the blend doors or the box is letting air escape some how. Irritating.
if the fan motor has been replaced, it is a common mistake for those little barn doors to be reinstalled to the wrong way around.. check them.. big job though. good luck
I have a ‘73 with a tore up dash and I found a S2 dash for a great price in great shape, so my project is a little different than yours because I’m swapping from S1 to S2 dashes and trying to swap the S1 gauges into the S2 dash. There looks to be a slight incompatibility with where the round S1 auxiliary gauges need to go but I think I can fab up with a solution easy enough. My biggest worry with my particular swap has to do with the hoses. Did you have any problems swapping the heater and defroster hoses between the S1 and S2 dashboards?
I didn’t mess with the hoses yet because my fan doesn’t work so I left that as the future project, but I don’t think there will be issues, for the most part it’s generic accordion style hoses so you can run them any way you want.

Great job. I love the older dash style...of course, I'm a proud owner of an '84 Veloce!
I just bought an 82, needs a lot of work, cant wait to get started

Amazing work and wonderful inspiration to convert my GTV6 dash to a more Alfaristic dash. Thank you.
Great job and nice work. Thanks for sharing. Learned a lot!
You just made my dream: swapping the dash to S2 dash. Great job
Im wondering how the dash piece under the steering wheel with the little shelf type piece comes out?
Awesome Job... looks great! Thanks for the video (do more videos please).

There were Japanese subtitles and it was easy to understand.
Great video. I learned a lot.
Love it.
