Diablo 6.0 overhaul

when you done it will be as good if not better than when it was brand new

Thanks for all the kind words fellas, appreciate it. You can't imagine the time and money put into this project, but will be worth it in the long run.

 

Now, for today's candy, i just got done with this leather centre console section.

 

Opinions welcome, both in colour and stitching.

 

I have a reason to ask this and it's a somewhat loaded question, i'm just looking to confirm or ignore my anal retentive position.

I have the dash almost finished and will load these images later today.

Simply incredible work Limey!!!!

Looking amazing!

Dash completed. Going in tomorrow, as well as centre console.

Very nice work. I'm afraid if my car was ever that clean, the thought of getting even one speck of dirt on it will make me cry.

Simply amazing!!

awesome

an undercarriage you could literally eat off of.... AWESOME!!!

keep up the good work limey

Wow, sorry for missing this thread! Awesome thing going here Limey, keep it up!

Absolutely fantastic!!!!!!

Very impressive!

very impressive restoration. great eye for details. what a labor of love....

Finished R/H/F today, 100% done.

 

Waiting on some parts to finish the fuel system, then motor goes back in.

 

Before and after R/H/F/

 

Also, front bumper carbon fibre was badly scratched and such, can be refinished back to 100% OEM if you take the time. Painting black is a cheap easy fix, not something i wanted to do.

 

Suspension overhaul consisted of:

 

• Rebuild Shock with new seals
• Remove & replace both shock bushings
• Remove upper and lower "A" Arm Bushings
• Powder Coat Upper & Lower "A" Arms and install all new bushings
• Replace Wheel Bearing
• Replace Shock hydraulic hose with custom made unit, Lambo wnated $700.00 for this, cost us $80.00 to make

Amazing project! Your Diablo is like new now!

very nice

 

my brake air pipes were gone as in your 6.0, Kurt

 

i see a yellow 6.0... anything new??

Take your time and do it right, your sense of pride will be priceless. Kudo's to you ragenbull, yours turned out very nice as well.

Been working like a mad man lately making the GT 1/4 Panel filler pods.

 

Although you can buy these on ebay and a few other places out of fibreglass or carbon fibre, even the factory sells them for over $2500.00 the set, the problem is they are only part fillers and stop halfway down the 1/4. I wanted them flush with the body work to look as factory fit as possible. So, we made them ourselves.

 

Started of with a simple piece of polystyrine, cut the basic outline, then wrapped it in carbon fibre, & finished up the imperfections with bondo. Primered with a two part epoxy and now ready to paint.

 

This is how they should have been made from day one, i bolted the finished product up to the yellow car just to see the bolt on fit, and it's the tits!

 

 

Day one GT Filler

 

Finished GT Filler

 

 

 

 

Love looking at your pics. Nice job...looks better than factory. Wish I had your talents.

amazing work man. did you wrap the whole dash yourself?

Car is now running again and sounds amazing. Will be taken off the lift tomorrow for the 1st time in over a year.

 

This week i'll be detailing the exterior, painting the specs on the engine cover in black and putting the engine cover and boot lid on, new wheels and tires as well as a full alignment.

 

All we're waiting for now is the rest of the leather to be finished.

Kurt, sc system looks amazing. Well done!

the engine bay looks unreal, very neat, excellent work

This is the reason why Lambo Power was orignally started....For enthusiasts like yourself to share with others the love they have for their Lamborghini's. Fine work and congrats on the rebuild.
