A good petrol tank would be a good idea, pity this isnt one!
Well cleaned up it doesn't look too bad.
Apart from that rust hole......WHAT!!!!!!!!!
Looking better now

Well after 1 year and 2500 miles I decided I needed a change.
Bring in the triumph dolomite sprint engine,2.0L 16 valve.
Give it a strip and rebuild.
Then a quick lick of paint.
Remove the old engine.
And install the new engine.
