first time with a dolly
hi,newbie to forum and been looking for a good dolly for a while and have found one! will be arriving(well on the back of a trailer) in the next week or so, red 1850hl and fairly good!! needs a bit of welding on the sills,front valance, passenger front wing repair at bottom ,rear sills and one corner of boot. sounds bad but rest is very good, 29 thousand miles and 2 same family owners! full service stamped history until it was dry stored in 1996. inside is a timewarp! now the bad bits and if anyone can help me on the forum to get the car moted as i plan to use it everyday. the radiator is shot and i need a second hand one with no large holes in! also front screen is cracked and its a tinted one, late type? have not driven her yet so do not know about gearbox or diff condition but will give service and all fluid changes first, would like to put sprint wheels on aswell if anyone has a spare set, i know but they do look better and i will keep the orginals. please feel free to ring or e-mail me with any tech advice/help or parts supply. happy to sort out a price,, would just love to get the old girl back on the road. tel: 01485 520091 e-mail jimjo_070@fsmail.net best regards jim, p.s will try and put post of resto and pictures of her when she arrives(not very good with computors)

Re: first time with a dolly
If you are going to put this car into daily use then you'll come across a few problems stemming from being laid up for so long. If you're going to put Sprint alloys on make sure you get the correct 3/8" nuts. These are getting harder to find without paying through the nose.
