trigger Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Shame to see it going after all the work you've done. I hope you've bought something even better to replace it with! oldcars 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philibusmo Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Damn, if I wasn't on the oterside of the world I would be pre-booking an MOT right now and looking up train tickets. Surely for someone who can stick metal together with a sparkle stick, this is a potential BARG. LC Torana 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filthyjohn Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Just how much welding is needed? Please post some pics to scare me off, I already have enough cars I'm in danger of never finishing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplebargeken Posted October 20, 2015 Author Share Posted October 20, 2015 Hah, you guys Welding: chassis leg patch, boot floor patch, footwell patch. Sills have been done in the past but poorly and need cutting off and new metal fitting to do a proper job. The sill panels can be obtained from the Dolomite Club easily and are pretty inexpensive for what they are. The other stuff is flat metal or basic 90 degree bends. Looks like it is a go'er with Mr Duke however, but if anything changes. Your daughter could do much worse that a 1300 Triumph. They are proper cars and I did my driving lessons and test in one.

Guest Breadvan72 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 I have a strong love for almost any car with a 1300 engine. It's just a great size for a smallish heap. GLWTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplebargeken Posted October 23, 2015 Author Share Posted October 23, 2015 I agree. The 1300 Triumph engine is a strong, flexible engine. It is a lovely simple design which is perfect for engine scaredy cats like me and it is also actually rather open to tuning. Back in the day, the 1300cc car was so plentiful. None of this 1.0 malarkey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
