I saw this on ebay and thought what a viable and worthwhile project it was; the way prices have been going lately if they'd bothered washing it the could have probably doubled their money!

Valances are rare to come by; a company near to you makes a reproduction lower valance, but they aren't particularly faithful to the original shape from the one example I've seen! The Club do GRP replica front panels, but if your's only has minor problems at the bottom then I'd be minded to clean it up and use fabricated repairs for the time being.

The Club also do a repair panel for the rear of the front wings in Zintec...

Ah, the benefits of membership...

[She has cleaned up well. I put a silly fleebay bid in on a whim and didn't get the car first time around then was contacted with a second chance offer. I Went down to Stamford and managed to get her for a ridiculously low amount including delivery. I have cleared a space in the garage by selling my Herald so the strip down can now start, I don't think the front is as bad as first thought and I have managed to pick up some steel wings for peanuts and a set of Sprint alloys for £23!
I can't say I really do the club scene, just interested in all things two and four wheeled and don't like stuff going to waste. My in-laws laughed when they saw the Dolly and couldn't understand why I wanted to buy it! But they do ride push bikes and watch Cricket so what do they know? My Wife loves it, which I am quite surprised about? She wants it for her run to work in September.
Are there any Dolly Owners in the Skegness and Boston area?
Picture was a bit large, thanks for the reduction. b][/b]

All part of the service.

It is best to upload your photos to a hosting site (such as Photobucket or Flickr) and posting the links. If you must upload photos directly then they should be reduced in size. I've found that a horizontal size of 1024 pixels is the sweet spot for most monitors. One advantage of reducing the size of photos is that you don't lose picture quality.

Keep us updated with your progress.

Fantastic!!! Tahiti is a gorgeous colour: keen to see how the car progresses. I have added it to my 1850 Database. How are you getting on with her?

Kind Regards
