Dimma Conversion

[Ant*k 4 2 Cars]

So my car Gos into terry Pankhurst at dimma on Sunday the 21st for a full dimma conversion

 

It will be number 2 in his signature series he is currently doing

 

Once work starts I will add some pictures of the build at the start during and after its finished for you all to see

When you say signature series...

 

What 'spec' will that be?

 

Engine standard? What wheels, suspension, rear beam, interior?

didn't know this was possible

will watch with intrest

Dimma only ever did bodywork, engine was done by turbo technics and interior was always left standard when done new

 

The car had already had a interior re trim to full grey leather and most of the interior parts changed for new

 

The engine has been rebuilt and is a standard 1.9 gti

 

Brake overhaul, new driveshafts, fuel lines etc will all be changed

 

But as for the bodywork which terry will be doing using a new dimma kit ordered from the factory in Belgium he will fit it as he did back in the 90's and it will receive a plaque from dimma and also a signature plaque from terry

 

It's a full kit, bumpers, front wings, rear quarter panels, tailgate panel, spoiler and a full respray followed by a set of genuine dimma wheels

Dimma only ever did bodywork, engine was done by turbo technics and interior was always left standard when done new

 

 

A lot of Dimmas had retrimmed leather interiors with "Dimma Design" printed / embroided into them. I know the 309 Mix4 had and James_S's CTI Dimmas has it and I've seen a few other cream ones over the years

 

 

 

The did engine conversions too, usually 16V ones or fitted carbs etc, but did outsource the turboing to Turbo Technics

[Hheppy 9 1 Cars]

The pictures looks great, is it as awesome as it looks?

[Juttie205 123 2 Cars]

its a very clean car and has been done well there are a few bits i would have done differently but thats because i can compare to my dimma project.

[Hheppy 9 1 Cars]

[Hheppy 9 1 Cars]

[Juttie205 123 2 Cars]
