hello i have had a sprint now for about 6yr i have AT LAST started to restore it (big job) it wants a fair bit of welding and a few new parts as well as an engine overhaul even in the state its in at the moment it still looks good i am very green to this kind of thing and just need a helping hand on the best place for spares i am in east yokshire and have a rimmer bros catalouge <br>
(all be it 6yrs out of date) i have been on site before but i am determined this time to get on the road so any advice on anything to do with the sprint will be very much apprieciated plus the best way to join the owners club many thanks steve//

Hi Steve and welcome.<br>
<br>
Please do join the club, <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.triumphdolomite.co.uk/jointh ... <!--EZCODE LINK END--> is the way. In the magazine you will find adverts from many part suppliers including the club itself, too many to list.<br>
<br>
Rimmers provide an excellent service in most instances and hold a greater stock than anyone else. They also have the best website and comprehensive catalogue both of which need paying for so their prices can be high. I like to support them but my wallet won't let me too often.<br>
<br>
Where are you with your restoration? Is the car still whole or are you under way?<br>
<br>
Can you make it to Stonleigh on the 30th? There'll be a dozen of us there beating the life into two dollies, you should be able to see some internal structures of the bodywork and we'll be happy to chat.<br>
<br>

The Club do a range of repair panels that might help your welder out; inner and outer cills, chassis legs, inner front panel repairs, boot floor repairs, door bottom repairs, lower front wing repairs.<br>
<br>
Most are made in zintec too so fit and forget!
