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.

Looks bob on that. 

So long it looks right and only needs a thin skim of filler then I'd call that a win. 

Much better than the hopes, dreams and a tub of Isopon that some of it was.

Neat work @Andyrew. I'm not really a particular fan of most of Triumph's offerings from this era (GT6 and TR6 are an exception) but for some reason, even though it's clearly currently unwell, it looks proper hard. It almost needs rattle can paintwork over the repaired areas and a lairy twin pipe stainless exhaust to up the asbo.

I could have done with @Andyrew about 22 years ago when I had my own rusty Sprint

Never had any sort of Triumph, I keep thinking about it, I'd like to have a go at the RBRR, which seems like a great idea😁
