Sadly I think I am going to have to sell this car.. I don't have anywhere to store it and sitting on grass isn't doing it any favours. I'll type up a full advert soon and stick it on the for sale board. I'm gutted because things like the heater blower motor housing and brackets I spent hours on trying to remove the rust and re-paint are now rusting again and I feel like I can't keep up with it - its quite disheartening and I feel like I'm doing a part of history a disservice by letting it sit outside rotting away. I think I should instead try and get the Toledo to show condition for next year when it hopefully all opens up again. The Toledo is currently in storage and I can't stretch to putting the dolly in either, and moving forward garages are difficult to find round here as well. Plans for now are give the single carb a clean and put it back on and potentially try and MOT it before sale. |

Car has now sold. I will be putting my effort instead into my toledo, my thread for it is here: https://forum.triumphdolomite.co.uk/vie ... 19&t=36285 I'm quite sad to see it go as I was really fond of the dolly, but sadly needed to downsize because I don't really have the time, money or space to keep going with it. I never had all that much luck with getting the welding started for the bodywork but I feel like I have a bit more time to learn MIG welding now that the only classic car I have is sat in a storage unit in its little dust-proof tent. The dolly felt like a ticking time bomb as moisture had been getting into the car from the grass it was sat on which was quite sad to watch really, and I felt I was doing a part of history a disservice in letting it rot away. I have met so many nice people through these cars, and I'm thankful for all the help i've had with this one! See you at some shows soon, fingers crossed later this year! |
