Dimma Kitted 205 Track Car.

[Davo-b 2]

Hi everyone,

Iv been looking at this forum for a year now and thought i should join as it looks verry helpful. Iv had a fue 205s so far this is 1 of 2 dimma i have, I bought this 1 not relizing how bad it was, so probs payed to much for it. When i started stripin it i was thinking of mibby making the car rear engined and make a T16 replica, after a year bussy with the other dimma soon for sale i now think i will just keep the engine in the front, but will get rid of the rear torsion bar suspension and fit a subframe with the same set up as the front wish wishbones and coilovers. The only problem i could find is the rear brakes havin to make it cable and hydrolic for the MOT, and wasnt sure is the engine in the boot would pass the MOT either.

 

So please take a look if this sounds interesting to you, I would appreciate comments on the build as to what you think or if you think i am doing something rong, i dont have much mechanical experience, But i am a pannel beater so i do no abit about cars. Thanks for looking.

 

Heers the car i bought mid december 2010, kinda chavy lookin. lol

Looks a good base Not a genuine dimma kit im afraid, 3 fins in the quarters rather than 4 and the shape of the rear arch gives it away too.

 

Looking forward to updates.

Yeah i no its just a cheap 1, at least i dont have to fit 1 though, lol the other dimma i have dosna have eny fins no sure what 1 i lyk best though, it has the maxi style wings to wich i dont lyk as much lyk these 1ns better.

No fins is the "T16" Kit.

 

What does lyk mean?

[Davo-b 2]

Heers the 1.4 xs engine with its fue mods nothin fancy.

[Davo-b 2]

Sorry its maxi front wing on the other so the come out lyk 2" then go back in to line up withe the door so its smoother the front wings on this 1 just flare out and then have lyk a 2" drop into the doors looks more aggresive i think.

[Davo-b 2]

Dose need more worth then i thought the kit but i should manage it, lovely motorbike back box too. haha

[Davo-b 2]

The the inside still nothin fancy.

[Davo-b 2]

So the next day got the car inside and started stripin it.

[Davo-b 2]

So a month later after i striped the car down, Front pannel removed for new one.

[Davo-b 2]

New front pannel on, only cost £70 wich i didnt think was that bad.

[Davo-b 2]

Rusty bits cleaned up and sealer removed and some bits welding work and primed to seal it as i wont be workin on in for a month or so again.

[Davo-b 2]

Back to work on the car again, thought id make a slam panel and sell the new 1 i got with the front panel.

What does lyk mean?

 

I used to work with a geezer from Orkney. That's how they all talk Maybe it's some sort of Nordic influence

When is a Dimma a Dimma that was never a Dimma?

[Davo-b 2]

The seats are just vinyl, no great realy. Yeah orkneys s*it i just cant be botherd to move. When is a dimma a dimma when its not a dimma, i take it your saying i shouldna be calling them dimmas if there no factory ones.
