Club Triumph

The clocks will be going forward, not back.

The Dolly's loking good. I strongly recommend fitting a SuperFlex steering column bush. It is a pig of a job but worth doing with the right bush.

yeah sorry,yes go forward an hour(d`oh)-----a new column bush came with the car so in went,next column bush will be poly`d,,,car is on hold,got to do sills on a ford sierra

got the sills done on sierra for a friend,,,back to dolly
got a sill to do on drivers side,sill has been repaired badly as you can,sill placed over and welded on,,what a mess,must of been garage job
manage to clean,treat and dinitrol the passengers side up to front floor/wheel well and jacking points,leaving all 4 jacking point untreated as they need cleaning,minor surgery and treating first
oh new suspension has arrived

anyone know the thickness of the original sill? manage to remove outer with minimal damage but useable,bottom edge is flake-e  

sorted the sills,,thanks all  

sill`s have arrived    weld-on

not very interesting but driver sill welded on

well,not much has happened this month,,bad weather and weld-athon on a sierra 4x4 estate,,waiting on new`ish parts to arrive,would be nice to do some spanner work instead of welding,time will tell

yippee sierra 4x4est is welding has finished,now i can work on a proper car my dolly ,few new parts have arrived and nice weather is here(sort off)
engine started a month after it layed up,fire into life ,now time for the front and rear brakes,but need to weld front valence,few holes

Nice work - 'Mad Mart the Second'
