Mart's Dolly Bonanza

[yellow banana]

Mart,<br>
<br>
Haven't been up on the site since last weekend - away in Yorkshire wiv me Sprint all this week - got back yesterday. As I can't get to the old (new) forum what's the score on your collection of prestige dollies found in the barn? Have you found a storage facility and are you going to dismantle them?<br>

Nothing has happened yet. The 2 Sprints are for sale complete for £50 each & the 1850 is a freebie. I haven't got anywhere to store them but they're ok where they are for the time being. I don't want to break these if there is a chance that someone can do something with the roofs & get them back on the road one day. Dollyboy was interested in the running gear off one of them but I'm hoping he will take the whole car. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START ;) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/wink.gif ALT=";)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>
<br>
I have looked round these cars as best I can and, apart from the roofs, I think these could be goers.

Rimmers still have complete roof skins <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk:80/cgi-bin/ ... <!--EZCODE LINK END-->. Would be a good restoration show wheeze and follow in the theme of recent years...you could join us Mart if you can keep your hands off your balls for a weekend...

I do think if the inca can be saved it should be saved rather than broken.<br>
<br>
that other inca one that went on ebay to anther toledo transplanter IMO could have been saved, it need about the equivalent of what I'm in the process of doing to orange, but i think its down to the cost of the bits needed to do the transplant really <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START : --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/ohwell.gif ALT=":"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>
<br>
I'd like to take the entire mimo-suckle and use it as a donor for my tolly sprint transplant but uncle alun has a pile of bits that can achieve the same result, although I doubt he'll let them all go for £50!!? <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START ;) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/wink.gif ALT=";)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> mimo-suckle certainly looks beyond repair, even as a huge labour of love, although with the right motivation, enthusiasm and know-how you can restore pretty much anything and I'm sure people have restored worse!<br>
<br>
just a matter of space Mart, im just about ready for a few cubic metres of concrete to go down and creat a sensible area for hard standing in derby, so keep you posted m8.<br>

The spring Resto Show is sometime in Feb usually, isn't it? <br>
<br>
with all the practice at the autumn one, I guess we could stick a new vinyl roof on too...<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :rollin --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/roll.gif ALT=":rollin"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END-->

Resto show, gotta earn us 'sole' first place would that. Shame the 3 day NEC show is not 'Restoration Based', we could do a roof skin day 1, vinyl day 2, and a folding fabric day 3 <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :rollin --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/roll.gif ALT=":rollin"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :rollin --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/roll.gif ALT=":rollin"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>
<br>
Apprantly, the ladies are quite good at pushing out concave roofs <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :p --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/tongue.gif ALT=":p"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END-->

Just for you Adam, the Mimosuckle is fairly complete.<br>
<br>
<!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.dolomitesprint.com/images/Wrecks/barn12.jpg" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br>
<br>
and the Inca is complete (coil is missing).<br>
<br>
<!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.dolomitesprint.com/images/Wrecks/barn13.jpg" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br>
<br>
This is from what I can see. I couldn't get round the passenger side on either car.<br>
<br>
I have a few more photos, if anyone is interested I'll email them. PM me.<br>
