This is going to look superb!

[dimma205]

Well the car has been painted and the laquer done but the bodyshop is now flatting car again to apply more laquer to give a better finish the bonnet and bootlid are ready for paint now and they are now prepping doors and bumpers so fingers crossed wont be too long before its all finished.

Looking great...

[vrooom]

Wow, stunning work. I alway thought dimma car should be rwd or 4wd because it has that look.

Is this a genuine Dimma?

What is a Dimma like this worth after restore?

I'm assuming that as it states it's genuine in the first post of the thread you didn't bother to read before posting?

[Shadow R1]

[dimma205]

Hard to value, Dimma just built one and sold for £20k but that was a second hand car, kitted and painted...it would not have been to this standard. I saw another sell for £25k recently but again, not to this standard.

[dimma205]

I dont feel they are worth these large price tags but i know how much im sinking into this so i atleast i can get a good agreed value but i would love to say this will never be for sale.

[james_tigerwoods]

Sorry to ask, but, how faithful are you being to the original car/engine/parts?

It does look very cool

[dimma205]

I've saved and restored as much as i can but its allways hard when you are doing a full nut and bolt restoration as you just want to change bits for new.
