fetched her today the car is as i expected a few more problems than i thought but overall very solid so far i can see the boot floor is gona need some plates, the rear of the exhaust is rotten there is a nasty bit of rust under the windscreen not a hole but its screen out to repair it and the fuel pipe turned into a sprinkler a moment after i started it but like i say I'm happy with it scabby but solid that brown paint has got to go though yyeeeeuuccchh  |

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      |
