309 4X4 Dimma

[M@tt 77]

I thought i'd do a brief post about my latest aquisition. Its the only 309 4x4 Dimma remaining iirc

 

basically a 309 Dimma with 405 mi164x4 running gear grafted on, completed by Dimma themselves back in the day

 

To be fair its a bit of a shed and needs a complete rebuild but i like a project I'm sure i could hear Dave laughing as i drove off with it on the trailer

 

Any way heres a few pics

Looks like an awesome project base M@tt, now hurry up and finish all your others so we can see some progress with this

AWESOME! I love the look of 309 dimma's, 4x4 as well - should be a good project!

That sure will be a project! I was a little surprised when i heard you'd acquired it, as Dave was well up for cracking on with it when i bought his White 309 a few years back, i kept forgetting to ask how it was going!

 

Good luck with it Matt!

Nice one! Looking forward to follow the restoration progress on the car

[gerry 5]

looks like it needs whole lot of loving...!!!!

 

How did it get that bad anyway??

 

Good luck though cant wait to see its progress

[Fox 3]

Wow! I cant wait to see this one unfold!

 

Is there much rust? I'll have a reasonably tidy three door 309 shell availabe soon if it would help!?

[calvinhorse 870]

kiss my balls monkey boy

 

haha! seriously tho i does look belting, any crusty rust in alkward places or is it fairly straight forward?

[Batfink 201]

This has the potential to be the second best 309 ever

Nice one Matt, looks to be a good project. Were will you put it though?

[M@tt 77]

it's in a secret underground bunker

[Tom Fenton 1,542]

Hopefully its staying there a while as it nearly bloody killed me getting it there......

Isn't this the one that had the enginebay already painted in blue/purple metallic?

 

Thought I've seen some pictures of that on the web.. Can't find them anymore though where the enginebay is painted..

top find sanders! is one of those pics outside the actual dimma factory with a load of other dimmas? if so coolest picture ever!!

[welshpug 1,657]

never abused

 

[M@tt 77]

yep your right sander thats the one

 

dave the previous owner had the engine bay blasted so its bare metal at the mo so i'll probabaly chuck a bit of etch primer over it at some point to help preserve it
