Looks fabulous proper 80s!
I had one, done in Red pearl, it was a 1.6 turbo technics.

Was so excited when it came back from conversion, but in reality, whilst it looks amazing, I preferred the car to drive prior to spending all that money!

But it did look ace, although trying to hold onto it in the late 80's was heavy going!! Worried every time I parked it up! Mind you, it was the same for a stock one in them days.

Great work bringing this one back!!

That is utterly gorgeous, I wonder how the bolsters will fair, do you expect then not to ear like the standard items.

The dashboard looks brand new, was it restored or did you find a new one?

I am very lucky to own some great cats but I still keep coming back to this thread and loving it. Well done and it really takes me back to the day I first saw a Dimma and fell in love
