1979 Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider Veloce

Work involved a repaint in dark blue, an interior re-trim in brown leather, rebuilds of the 2.0L twin-cam inline-four and five-speed manual transmission, and more as detailed below. The car rides on refinished 14″ Turbina-style wheels and wears a replacement black canvas convertible top as well as a Series 3–sourced grille and wraparound bumpers. Inside, a wood-rimmed steering wheel is accompanied by Jaeger instrumentation along with a Bluetooth-capable aftermarket stereo. The engine breathes through retrofitted Weber carburetors and is fitted with a PerTronix electronic ignition in addition to a stainless-steel exhaust header, while the transmission is linked with a limited-slip differential.

Formerly finished in black, the car’s Pininfarina bodywork was stripped and repainted in its current dark blue finish as part of the aforementioned refurbishment. Inside, a previously installed roll bar and bucket seats were removed and the interior surfaces were sanded and repainted. The 2.0L twin-cam inline-four was disassembled, the cylinder head was shaved, the intake openings were machined, and the pistons and connecting rods were replaced during the engine rebuild, while the five-speed manual transmission was also disassembled and rebuilt in the course of the project.

The car wears a retrofitted Series 3 grille and wraparound bumpers as well as a replacement black canvas convertible top. LED bulbs have been added for the headlights and running lights, and polished stainless-steel windshield wiper arms and side mirror housings have been installed.

Work in the course of the refurbishment is noted to have involved refurbishing the wheels, mounting the tires, and rebuilding the brake calipers as well as replacing the brake master cylinder, lines, pads, and rotors.
