Vehicle History:
This vehicle ended up at Dino Enterprises in 2002, in bad shape. These cars are great (and very fast) when looked after properly but sadly that was not the case for this car. Rust had structurally destroyed most of the body. The process began with striping the entire car down to a shell and re-building it from the ground up. The doors and panels where replaced. Hours of sanding and priming soon followed. Painting begun. It was decided that the car was to be painted in bright red. (to reflect the cars heritage and because everybody knows that red cars go faster). After a week or so in the spray booth we started putting the car back together, on the way replacing and repairing all that had been damaged or worn out, and also adding the necessary performance parts where needed. The car roared into life soon after and the transformation was complete.

Future plans:
The main objective was to rejuvenate the car and get it looking as close as possible to showroom condition. This has now been achieved and while there are no major future plans, there’s is always room for small improvements such as lowering and a little more boost.
