Great to see you back, Alistair. That Dolomite is a lovely wee motor. Can't wait to see her doing her thing again. I do wonder, and often, why English cars, or at least cars in England, with side draught carburetors are so hard to start. Our 81 Volvo 240DL Estate had a single side draught Zenith on the 2.1 litre. That car started first turn of the key every time, even at -40 degrees, whether the block heater was plugged in or not. Even Ma's 54 Hillman Minx and get even worse 58 Vauxhall Velox started properly at temperatures well below the freezing mark. They did argue a bit when the temperature dropped below -20°C, but they could be forgiven.
Been looking forward to this for so long. Like a well smoked kipper...it takes time to perfect?. (Thats probably a rubbish comparison) but yeh excellent news! lol
Good to see you back again, yes it has been a while since we last saw you, Good to see the progress on the Dolomite, looking forwards to seeing it back on the road, have you still got the Acclaim? Looking forwards to your next video.

Well done! Great to see you making your own repair sections
I had a 1500HL in that colour, EBT923W. It was a lovely car but sadly scrapped in the early 2000s and replaced with a Sprint FRW180T.
Very good.
Used to have a 1500TC back in the 80s, I loved that car.
Great job

Acclaim still here, now featuring more metal content and a new shade of blue. Video to come!
@@CaptainSlow1992 excellent! Looking forwards to it!
So you've built a new car but it's turned out to be a dolomite
