Re: Track Sprint Resto
Right, I think I'm about finished, subject to Jon having a quick look over it before it goes off to the body shop.
Removed the servo, door handles & locks. Made some holes a bit larger.

Re: Track Sprint Resto
I took the DA to the whole car today. Got all the glue off the roof...
Found another hole in the front passenger door...
Not sure if I'm going to do any more to it tomorrow, I'll see what I feel like.
Jon the sprayer will hopefully be picking it up early next week.

Jon the sprayer's transporter has been waiting for an MoT so he had to borrow something else to pick the track Sprint up just now...

Re: Track Sprint Resto
I bet your neighbours loved you when that transporter turned up.
1978 Twilight Purple Dolomite 1850HL The Lolomite.
It's 106 miles to Chicago, we've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses.
Hit it.

Re: Track Sprint Resto
After stripping the engine down on Saturday I made a start on rebuilding the head this evening.
Lapped all the valves in...
Valves all cleaned up...
New valve springs!
As you can see the new springs (right) are a couple of mil longer than the old ones, no surprise there. Then as I went to fit the first one & orient it the right way up I noticed there wasn't a right way up. ie. it doesn't have the closer coils at one end. These springs were given me a few years ago and on the box they are labelled for a Sprint & Stag. Question is, should they be ok to use?
