Look what I found

[kentiiboii]

So was just walking to the shop with my mrs telling her that I wanna find a old car so I can take my time restoring it for when I turn 25 for classic insurance.
Then I stumbled upon this...
       

Its been at this garage for a while but never realised it was a dimma.
Going to ask the owner about it tomorrow see if hes willing to part with it.
From what I can see the front bunper is in the car as well as 2 blue buckets.
Looks fairly ok but paint is dull. No damage to the kit.
Engine looks to be in bits from what I can tell through them massive vents.

What engine would be in this?
Would it be worth fitting a xud?
How much is it worth in this state?
How much is it worth finished?

The kit alone is worth a few quid. I'd chance it a few hundred quid to see if they just want rid. Could be an old customer that never paid a bill or something so it's just sat rotting..

Yeah I know its been there a good few years. Ive seen it a lot but always driving so just figured it was a nornal 205.

[Dum-Dum]

yeah worth a few hundred as is, worth probably £1500-£3500 finished

[kentiiboii]

Thanks going to ask tomorrow. Would the kit be metal, plastic or fibre glass?

[Eeyore]

awesome! would be brilliant to make it mint!

[Jenkosowls]

There was a rolling Dimma shell that Selt on eBay other month for less than £150!

[cwspellowe]

In fact what wheels are they too?

Not sure on the wheels mate hopefully have proper look at weekend

[Jenkosowls]

Don't look like the Dimma splits look a 5 spoke wheel simular to mi16s but splits

[cully]

looks like the old ford RWD revolution style alloy

[ozonehostile]

its worth a few bob if it has the skip brown modified engine., there was one very similar to this at a house in worcester that i bought some pug bits from

Nice find although I was a little disappointed after reading the title. Thought you found another ameture porn site.

If its a genuine Dimma kit then IIRC it should all be metal.

Thats the main giveaway, if theres any fiberglass on it then its been pranged and cheaply repaired. A good example is springs old Dimma Cabby.

This would dramatically reduce the value when finished if it is the case.

Hope that helps

Cant see it been a genuine dimma with those wheels.

Cheers grant. I remember seeing springs advert on ebay saying somes fibreglass and sone metal. Not had time to look with work today. Hopefully tomorrow

Went to speak to the garage saturday but they was closed and car had gone. Walked past today and it was back so they must just keep it in garage at weekends.
Panels on one side feel orignal metal which is good. Tax disc ran out in 2008. Still not spoke as ive been working till late. But tomorrow im off.

   

Anyone mind doing a reg check for me so I know what im dealing with?

[swampy]

That's not a Dimma boot panel!!

[kentiiboii]

That's not a Dimma boot panel!!

How you know whats difference?

[ginge191]

Nice. Looks genuine. Dimma 205 wheels were dished pepperpots and 5 spokes; looks the real deal with metal panels also!
This would probably have the mi16 engine in I'd assume. Worth a mint as it is..

Don't I'll get it cheap enough then

Almost certain it's smooth

[ginge191]

Cancel that. iPhone pics are hard to view.
It doesn't look too genuine. A lot of replicas tend to be fibreglass.
I'd be interested to know what this may be

Not sure about you, but ive never seen any Dimma 5 spoke's the ones on the car look like revolution wheels, compomotive were the ones who made the wheels for Dimma.
