project 1974 Dolomite Sprint

[Andyrew]

Slither made from the cut I had trimmed of the top of the panel, run through the stretcher to get the curve then plug welded and slowly welded edge to edge and dressed back. Taken a while but looks okay. Will need a bit of bodywork

When you're at a show next have a look around those areas on shiny Dolomites. In most cases you'll see they're all very inaccurately repaired and hidden with filler!

The other thing you realise is that even unrestored examples, they are all a bit thrown together in a not particularly accurate fashion from the factory.

Very much mass produced and not in British motoring manufacturing finest era.
