    Hi i'm new to the site and i am wondering if anyone has a thought, have heard, or have had any dealings, with the company called Cascu, offering a Fibreglass Dino body shell being offered, on other sites. Regards Pierino

    As nilfish has said the dino 308gt4 is a horrendous looking car,perhaps only useful for giving up it's parts,but there is people out there that cherish them.

    i don't know, its a different world over there it seems. Urotrash, lets grab a drink and switch the topic...

    The picture in your post is showing Donald Pleasance in the Movie "Don't look now" and still you did!

    How many times do we have to talk about the head light covers not being factory, but installed after the fact......

    This looks like a car that you would pay to ride at an amusement park

    Any replies?
    Pierino is the name for the wicked kid at school in Italy, so this might be him?
    Who is Cascu? Sounds Rumanian or Sardinian.
    Oh well, who cares...

    Wish I could find the source for the turn signals...
    The headlight covers are almost off a GTO, or a LM, or....forget it.

    Best of luck in your quest Pierino, I am nervous already...

    Saluti, Alberto

    Ciao Alberto,

    I am wicked indeed but not at school. Thanks for the reply from over there but after my post i had feed back in the Uk.
    The Cascu company in the UK, makes complete and exact copies of the 246 GT and GTS body shell, for Dino Owners like me, trying to get them back in great condition and not get ripped off by some companies i won't mention.
    So yeh you should be nervous as this guy is doing a great job over here, without ripping us off, as i am sorry to say that my beloved country and 4 times world cup winners, did a useless job on quality on these amazing cars in the first place.

    Saluti Pierino with the Dino

    Ciao Pierino with the copy Dino, does Cascu make the trim pieces for around the door frames?
    Possibly new heads, oh, and wait a minute, I just had a great thought...
    the infamous engine compartment lights?

    Otherwise, I am not worried or otherwise nervous, as copies, are just that.
    Please send photos.

    Saluti, Alberto

    PS. Who is ripping us off?
    PPS. Italy just lost a pathetic game against Spain in the UEFA cup. Personally, I am quite embarrassed about losing 4 nought.
    Just a thought...

    Took a look at the Cascu website and they offer:

    "BMW 3 Series Testarossa wide arch kit"

    I think I have finally found what to do now, why bother with a real TR?

    Nervously, Alberto

    Is this an April Fool's thread that was posted "prematurely"?

    Whew, this was a lot of work...
    Please be objective on the quality, and most honest value of the art. No one was ripped off.
    Promise.
    Someday, it may well be worth more than the deer in the snow.
