Hi and welcome to my project.
My dolomite was my first car which I have used as a daily driver for 4 years until may '09, when the engine packed up for a second time in 3 months. At which time I decided to get another car to use and abuse on a daily basis. Since then it has been stored in a garage that I rent, while ive been collecting parts and ideas for what I want to do with it.
So here is what I plan to do/ what it needs so far.
Bodywork.
Overall the car is very solid as it was ziebarted from new, but there are now a few issues that need sorting.
Replace drivers door.
Weld new rear wheelarch repair panels in.
I replaced the rear doors a couple of years ago but the paint I had mixed is a different shade of red.
Few other areas of bubbling.
I may possibly have it resprayed professionally, depends on finances.
Polybush the car and fit spax adjustable shocks and lowering springs.
Trackerjack brake kit.
New triumphtune gearbox.
I've got another 1500 engine, which is fitted with all new pistons, crank, fast road cam, duplex timing chain etc which was built and driven for 10 miles before the car was rear ended and left to stand for 15 years, during which time the car never ran but the engine still turns over by hand. So the plan is to take the engine to a friend who is an engine rebuilder for him to strip it down and check it over, replace what is needed and fully balance it. Ive got a triumphtune stage 3 head for it and twin 40dcoe webers which are on my engine that is currently in the car. I've got a stainless tubular manifold from a spitfire which I plan to adapt to fit and will connect to a custom exhaust.
So thats pretty much the plan, im sure it will change as time goes on. Thanks in advance from comments and suggestions.
