Blimy oh riley James! Theres not really anything I can say that will do justice to the amount of work you're doing, is there?! Well done, and thank you. I hope you haven't found too many horrors that I created?!

Looking forward to seeing the finished product!

Well done James! Although you definitely had an advantage on the second one! hope you’re getting on ok with everything!

In a slightly easier version, the same car is in this shot somewhere too...

Hello everyone! Hope you have been keeping well.

How are your Dolomite spotting skills? Below is a picture from Google Earth of my work car park. Somewhere in this image is a Dolomite.

If you think you can see it, message me, and I will let you know if you are right! Don't give the answer away for ...

...how did this vehicle get an valid MOT Cert to states it's safe and road worthy to drive on public roads or was it that when it became 40 yrs old its never had a test knowing full well that it would fail.

Holy crap James, look at you go!

Absolutely fantastic to see, thank you for the shining review!

There should be a clutch kit somewhere I believe in the spares, it was on the list. I noticed you pulled my rubbish (early) attempt at the bulkhead seal off! God did that need doing! :lol:

Well, what can I say! I don't know how I managed to miss that one haha! Thanks Tony!

Yes indeed. Thanks for all of that, I will drop an email to the bodywork man and see how I get on, thanks!

The picture on the club parts for the rear wing repair only shows the rear edge of the wheel arch? Does it include the front edge?

I had a bodywork specialist take a look at Nina this morning, and he would like a few parts!

- The boot floor, there is a seam that runs the width of the car, maybe 6 inches up to the rear inner valence - is this piece available?

- Rear wheel arch/wing repair panels, that include the front of the ...

Thats great, I think I'm there now. Thanks for the video link Clive!

The only new wires I need are for 30 and 86 - 86 can be 5A wire I guess, but what about the 30 feed? Tony suggested 35A fuses but Steve you think they can be higher?
