well, there's only one way to learn.......not goin to learn much by looking at haynes....<br>
<br>
the old saying goes that its better to try and fail than to not try at all.<br>
<br>
despite the fact i've only had mine 3 weeks and am selling already i have learned so much already. (even though i ...

I just had a similar problem too. Some quotes are ridiculous.<br>
<br>
Best was £650 fully comp, limited to 3500 miles. (footman james). thats with membership of the tssc (£30 membership, £16 car valuation).<br>
<br>
The one i decided top go for was through chris Knott. they were really helpful ...

Nah! It came back from the MOT and went flat within a couple, of hours! the tyres a gonner though<br>
<br>
as of yet i've not seen any sprints for under £1k. i was advised to look at the sales page on the dolomite site, but they're all mainly over £2k. i'll have a look at the magazines though. <br ...

yeh. sitting at a loss with the dolly 1300, but it'll be out of my hands from thursday. bought it in hull, and it'll be making its way back there!<br>
<br>
my insurance is needing renewed and it will cost me £300 less fully comp than my present car which is only third party. i'm selling my other car ...

dam! I just sold it. should remember to check here first.<br>
<br>
i was actually considering using it as a donor car but as it has no tax i can't keep it on the road, and don't have a drive nevermind.<br>
<br>
anyway, hopefully a dolly sprint will be in my possession soon, so noubt i'll be picking ...

<br>
i've accepted that i won't make all my money back on it. but no worries, it was fun for all of a day and its a new experience for me.<br>
<br>
the mechanic at the garage thought that the corrosion on the chassis was straight forward enough. i don't know the exact details of it, but i ...

apologies! didn't realise.<br>
<br>
I would have said put it in capitals so i could see it, but you did!<br>

Okay, I now have a dolomite 1300 up for grabs! <br>
<br>
it failed the MOT, and the labour is whats stopping me from getting it sorted (i didn't bring my gear with me when i moved to uni!).<br>
<br>
unless there is any interest from here by monday, then i will stick it up on ebay. (please note i've ...

okay, just arrived back from hull.<br>
<br>
car is excellant condition, and only damage to interior is a rip on the drivers seat and some dodge carpetting around the gearstick. 85,000 miles. a couple of rusty bits but nothing major. engine started first time and was sweet. as mentioned its been ...

Cheers guys,<br>

it had a lot of bits replaced before it was dry stored and the only obvious thing was the welding on the sills. (i realise it won't pass the mot!). its had new tyres all round, radiator, some steering stuff and headlamps. it hasn't been mot'd for 4 years so technically it hasn ...
