I turned up about 8:15 waited for over an hour an a half and gave up. I assumed all your dolly's broke down on the way there :P. <br>
<br>
Did I miss u (i.e. u turned up later), or were you already there but none of you came in your dolly's?

Didn't realise that dolly owner were psychic, how'd you know that was me trying to phone just then? <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> .<br>

I'll be there about 8:30 - 9:00 see you there ...

Well it seems fortune has decided to favour me. A stag owning member of my family informed me today that he has a 130Amp Cerbora and I can borrow it whenever I wish after he has finished welding floor panels onto his motor <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :D --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish ...

Thanks for the offer Dollyman, unfortunately I live in S Wales in the middle of know where, surrounded by sheep and coal mines <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :D --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/happy.gif ALT=":D"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> .<br>

Looks like I'll go ...

So the Nutool ones are out of the question <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :lol --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/laugh.gif ALT=":lol"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> .<br>

What is the minimum ampage you would recommend and how much difference does the gas actually make?<br ...

I've decided to try and repair the one I have as opposed to buying another one in better condition and swapping the bits across.<br>
<br>
My main concern is welding the new bits onto the old bit. Wings and door skins etc I'm not to bothered about but any tips on how to weld new chassis arms with a ...

I'm very interested. Like the others, I'd need to know the sort of costs involved but if they aren't ridiculous count me in.<br>
<br>
Oh yes and I would definately be out till next year, old sprinty is on axle stands with most of the underside of the car in little orange piles on the floor.

I like the wolf in sheeps clothing approach, used to have a cavalier 1.6L with a 130 engine in it. Then I had a 306 GTi 6 (looks like the HDI). Then I had a baby, bought a house, missus gave up work so I had to run 2 cars on one budget and after a year of crappy carness decided to add a sprint to my ...

Well you can check the cills,subframe and common rust spots pretty easily. Lack of any welding is also usually a good sign. Besides the car I have now was bought on the assumption that it would need a fair bit of work, it was half stripped and sprayed in a lovely colour scheme of yellow and grey ...

Well I've ordered the rimmer catalogue, I'm going to strip everything off and work out how much it'll cost me, if its too much I'll have to go for the second donor car and nick the shell (idealy one with the round lights save me having to fart around too much :P).<br>
<br>
I would like to rebuild it ...

Just noticed a cheap 1300 for sale near me. Apart from the subframe and the obvious stuff is there any difference between the shells?

Stripped her down and ..well she's in a lot worse condition than I first thought. Found that most of the front, rear and many other bits are filler. The chassis leg thingys now have lots of holes in them after I decided to have a prod with a screw driver and the bits of the car that aren't rusted ...

I've just sent an email for the free information pack, so no doubt I'll be joining the rest of you soon in full membership glory <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :D --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/happy.gif ALT=":D"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> . <br>

Cheers for the ...

Cheers Alun, I'll make a list but it will take a while. I'm more than willing to travel to get the parts (not in the dolly yet though). In fact I was only a stones throw from you 2 weeks ago in Halesowen. Took me just over 2 hours (4 sets of roadworks)<br>
