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 structuraly 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 nessesary 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, theres is always room for
small improvements such as lowering and a little more
boost.
