Where did you source this out? My co-worker is looking for one right now... FWIW, I've worked on a few of these too....My doctor is big into the british car club, has a TR-3, a TR-6, and had a TR-7..

I feel cheated

Re: New British pony for the stable w/ pics

they are rare enough cars to try and find, and even rarer to see on the road just due to the fact they only come out when there isn;t a cloud in the sky and its above 25 degrees.
such a sexy exhaust note

I'm loving the "HVAC" controls, awesome.

I see a triumph around my place sometimes, always puts a smile on my face 'cause they're just so different.

Re: New British pony for the stable w/ pics

plans include getting the small dent and paint work sorted out on the left front fender. we are debating a repaint but we dont know if the car actually needs that as the paint is in really good condition. i may just speak to the guy that wetsanded my car and see what he can do to restore the 30 year old paint.
redo some of the door and window seals, new softtop, possibly new SU carbs, and a few general little here and there fixes. For the most part it runs great. There are a few electrical issues I may try and get rob to give me a hand with to sort out, one of which being a draw somewhere on the battery when the power is off causing the battery to die after 2 days if left hooked up.
other than that not a hell of a lot. if we do a respray we will do a full teardown, remove everything, bead blast the shell and then go british racing green, but thats a little bigger than i think we want to deal with
