Re: Two door Toledo project
Best of luck with your project, it looks like a sound basis for restoration or conversion - enjoy!

Re: Two door Toledo project
I managed to get a few hours in today. Just a few pictures of the progress.
Re: Two door Toledo project
I know you can buy fibreglass bonnets but I just wanted to have a go at making one, I am not even sure if I will use it. The red calliper is an alloy four pot calliper that I have been lent buy the manufacturer, I just need to draw up an adapter. The red Sprint is a spares car that I managed to get at scrap value.
Re: Two door Toledo project
Wow! A Sprint is being used for spares to keep a Toledo going.
Sweet.

Re: Two door Toledo project
What is that caliper exactly and will it fit without any modification? It would make for an interesting brake upgrade.
I didn't get chance to visit you at the weekend. Maybe this coming weekend.

Re: Two door Toledo project
I got the calliper from a machine shop, it is very close to just bolting on but the holes are slightly out, you would probably get away with just elongating the holes but that's not really something I would do. A simple bracket will make it a bolt on job.
Re: Two door Toledo project
Looks like you are getting well into it Bryce.
Don't forget not to go too far - we expect to see you at the next Club Triumph meeting

Re: Two door Toledo project
I'm hoping to make the next one Martin. Brown will be the car of choice now it is running again.
Bryce, I'll try to get over at some point at the weekend. I want to see your Tolly.
