Hello from newbie Karma Dino owner

29 Oct 2012, 10:26pm
Hi, I've just bought a 1984 build Karma Dino in need of "a little bit" of restoration work.

This is the Ford front engined version rather than then VW rear engined version, and is going to receive a 1.8l Zetec that was rebuilt a year or so ago by me and a friend.

It's going to undergo a complete nut and bolt rebuild, and I am hoping to lift the body off next weekend. The chassis will then get cleaned, refurbed and painted prior to a complete rebuild of the car with most new, or fully refurbished. components.

Should keep me busy for a while :icon_smile:

Simon.

Very interesting renovation project. Looks like you have lots of work ahead of you (and fun hopefully). Please keep us posted on progress.
