Well everyone -
Time to make this car a car i guess-
The dolomite has had years of time and effort put into it but its not right - The engine however great it sounds is unreliable BL tat and simply im bored of waiting for it to break.
I love the s13 - I love my dolomite- Whats better - FIGHT - sorry - Lets combine the two - I love the dolomite's complete and utter ease at how cool retro it looks. I love the fact its my first car and ive owned it 8 years and counting
I hate the fact its ripped my heart out and stamped on it more than once
But this thing seriously has a soul, be it a 37 year old workshy brummie soul..
I went and picked it up today and drove it home its been slumming it in a council lock up on the worst estate in the area fully demobilized and looking SO sad
New battery - FIRST TIME FIRES UP And now its home !
So the start of something awesome.
Ingredients

The car itself is an excellent base . No real rot - Fully uprated suspension and bushing so its good to go otherwise
