Re: New toy
It looks very nice.
For you and your cars sake, please double check that they have used better wiring than original spec. I have seen two Dinos burn to the gunwhales from oem wiring being too thin for some applications on the car.
Handling wise they feel like a 914/6 with off road springs, but they sound a thousand times better!

Re: New toy
It should be done within 2 weeks Mike. It's virtually completed now as all of the major mechanical work has been done. The outstanding items now are refitting the side windows and quarter lights, refit the door cards, put the seats back in, fit the seatbelts, finish off the remaining items of trim (one section of carpet and the rear of the centre console) and fit the new wheels. It will then be put through an MOT test, cleaned and returned to me.
It's been a long haul and I've ended up doing far more to it than I thought was required when I bought it but it should hopefully now be in great shape for the next 10 to 15 years at least and require only routine servicing.
Re: New toy
It's taken longer than expected but finally my Dino has been finished! There is one piece of interior carpet still to arrive but other than that it's complete, set up and ready to come back to me. If the carpet arrives early next week (who knows as the supplier involved is fairly hopeless) I should get the car back by next weekend.
Once I have the car in my possession I'll take some proper photographs. In the meantime here are some shots from the workshop today after the final roadtest was completed.
The list of work was extensive and the main items were as follows: -
- Full exterior repaint
- Cylinder head gaskets replaced
- Valve tolerances reset
- Carburettors overhauled and balanced
- Fuel system cleaned through
- New alternator fitted
- All cooling system hoses replaced
- Suspension rebushed and wishbones re powder coated
- Radiator re-cored
- Cooling fans stripped and cleaned
- Cabin heater air ducting replaced
- Windscreen and all side glass replaced including new rubber seals and window channels
- New tyres and Campagnolo alloy wheels fitted
- Cabin floor and door skins lined with Dynomat sound/heat proofing
- Dash recovered & steering wheel renewed
- Instrument surround restored
- New cabin carpets fitted
- New trunk carpets fitted
- New front bumpers fitted
- New windcreen wiper arms and blades fitted and wiper motor overhauled
- Various rewiring work carried out
- Choke operation assembly renewed (operating found to have been broken previously)
- Cabin heater reconnected
- Door seals replaced
- Electric window mechanisms stripped and cleaned
- Numerous cosmetic items renewed

Re: New toy
Stunning car, and in true showroom condition. I like that you also did a lot of mechanical work and not just cosmetic. It couldn't have been cheap, but the end result is fantastic

indeed shifting is ancient technology - so is a fuel burning engine.. I happen to like both :)
