Well done that man! even if it does need a little more work than you think it still has plenty going for it.

Looks great, had an 1850 dolomite years ago. Can I see some polybushes and recent rear shocks ? Cheers, Bill.

right had a bit of a go round the dolly tonight started in the engine bay with the split fuel pipe quickly found the culprite could have been nasty also noticed the battery was a bit close to the alternator a bit very close anyway sorted those out and fired her up, started ok but all was not well if you rev it it knocks a lot so i think after a short nosey on the forums probably picked up on one of the big ends, so much for my engine that doesnt need any work as i was happily tell ing everyone, hey ho not a big job by the sound of it so on with inspecting the shell. first up was that nasty bit by the windscreen looked nasty but i bit the bullet and got out the trusty flat blade and surprisingly no hole! so bit of a result there however not such a nice bit on the pillar behind that thats gona want a plate on it (very awkward spot too. bit puzzled by these on the parcell shelf four of them not sure what for? anyone got any ideas did have a bit of a poke around some of the other scabs but found no holes mostly surface even those crusty wheel arches didnt hide any nastys so I'm still upbeat even if i do have some engine fetling to do, i took some nice arty shots while i was there too
