Where is he, and more importantly where is the car and what state is it in, prob 1 of my fave motors that followed closely by the Dinguin

 

He pops his head on every now n then... busy guy.

Last time I spoke to him he'd got another one that was going the same way... so there were going to be 2.

Hi
I am currently building a fast Dolomite I HOPE !!!
Full carbon panels ,Bigger arches
Engine moved way back
Using a GT40 R turbo
Im doing All the work myself Making all the carbon panels ,not sending anything anywhere so its taking a long time
Just for self satisfaction ,Well it keeps me out the pub
Its a lot further along than these pictures portray
Just Couple of pickkys lol









Home made Inconel manifold



This is the new colour scheme

I did consider this kit but its a one off.

I have hundreds of photos
Hope to have it finnished next year so i can get down to coombe and do the Nurburgring with Karl .ollie and a few of the other lads

 

Start a resto thread, I for one would love to see more pics! I wouldn't have used a Cossie engine in the new car (you've already done that) I'd have gone V8 turbo.

 

Seconded about the build thread, that looks fucking epic from this pics.

Good skills that man!

 

Cheers Martin ,
I am Really Really considering the same engine as your Firenza,
I can put the new cos engine in my old car.

 

Cheers Chip .

 

Build thread deffo needed.. love the old one.. this one looks like its going to be on a different level

 

A friends
Keeping the rover triumph thing going.

 

That sounds like a good plan

 

Love the cosworth dolly. Wish I had your fab skills. Build thread def needed

 

I may do a build thread when its nearly completed so it doesnt
go on for years LOL

 

Do it!!! I doubt you'll go back to a Cossie after that! If you need any measurements or info etc just ask, I also know of an engine and box for sale.

 

Cheers Martin,
Is there much difference in weight ,
I could do with some engine dimensions ,
I may be up for that engine and box !

 

Is that Ken woods rally car in the last pics? If it is that car sounds great though the woods

 

Hi Daz,

Nice to see the progress you're making mate, manic car this was when it was in it,s old Spec, has to be one of, if not my fav car on here..

Hope to catch up sometime pal..

 

Im sure martin will have the exact figures, but the weight is a lot less difference than you would expect, those YB blocks are fucking boat anchors!

 

Very cool proejct!

 

Very cool this some brilliant work going on! Are you still going to try and get a 1000hp out of a yb?

 

Yes its Kens
