RWD FTW!
SO i saw an ad for 3 triumph dolomites, €1800, in Dublin, called ted and let him know since i knew he might need some spares.
after a while i got to thinking that maybe getting myself some 70’s pile of BL crap might be a good idea, instead of converting
my fwd starlet to rwd it may be possible to insure a 30 year old car these days since insurance has gotten a bit better. 30 year
old cars are tax free so i could have a 2 liter, it would be no problem. Probably.
Teds dolomite sprint automatic 1 of 50 made (autos that is not dolomite sprints):
Shove out the shite engines they came with and stuff it with a more likely 1.8cvh from a sierra, i’d be happy enough with
that, if it can’t be saved from the rust bunnys i could use the running gear in another shell, like my starlet again avoiding
the tax problems and keeping it rwd
When i went to look em up in the buyandsell i saw cheap spirfires, heralds, and dolomites. they were cheap enough too
so the future may be BL and breakdowns for me…
Ted has also gone a litte further on with his rd/tz 375 project, footpegs are a problem, can’t put them high enough
because of his false leg. I offered to make a new leg but i was turned down. Probably would have turned out like the
titanic anchor anyway.
Got a good pic of Aines monster 900..
