Re: NAB 755T Dolly 1500HL Project
Three gorgeous cars. I especially like the Sprint as it's the same colour as mine. Is it an optical illusion, or does the panel gap at the back of the driver's door on the MG widen significantly from top to bottom?

Re: VGK Sprint Restoration
It looks as though you've only fitted one bolt on each of the upper wishbones.

Re: RUK - Project Recommission 1972 'Dolomite' Auto
Not quite! Its from "The secret diary of Adrian Mole (aged 13 and three quarters)" a book I first read at the age of 12 ( the year we won the world cup) As you can tell from the speeling, child illiteracy was already gaining a hold in the 60s!
