Yep, looks like it was originally an auto but is now a manual with O/D. Not sure if the PO did this or not.

I've also noticed it says "Dolomite Sprint" on the VIN plate, I know you can get them but I can't say I've ever seen that on a car before.

Put an S2000 engine and box in it.

Good effort, either way!

Excellent I admire both your determination and vision Mart.

As someone else said one in the eye for those who say "It cannot" be repaired that rather than "I cannot" repair it.

:thumbsup:

OK, if everyone's in agreement...Mimosa it will be. :lol:

David6214 pointed out that I should apply for a new reg document before I start. Good thinking David. :D

just let this project serve as a demo for all the numpty "its not worth repairing" folk out there.
That would be me.. but only cos I could never do it !

I think I could save up enough money to buy the Isle of Wight before I could repair that car..

Best of luck though matey, I'll be watching closely !

I like the way you have used this forum to determine the colour choice of your Sprint. Brilliant!

Phil mate, that wasn't aimed at anyone in particular and as for buying the IoW Mart's car is a more solid proposion the way the cliffs on the south coast are going!!!!

Nooooo, keep it original Honeysuckle. Do a Mimosa one next :wink:

[edit] My mistake, mimosa comes after the French Blue one. :thumbsup:
