Guest Garfy Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 This car was owned and built by my late dad, and its been standing for about 6 years, now its time to bring it back to life, plenty of work needed I fear, but rust is limited to the bonnet, there is a bit on one of the cills but I know they are new so it should only be surface rust, anyway, pics time Top points to anyone that works out what engine is in it. before a clean bit of mold inside, but that washed right off Dash still looks good, i veneered that myself for my dads birthday many years ago Engine, most of that should clean up no problem. bit of the dreaded metal worm After a much needed wash and polish, very pleased with how it came up, dad did a good job, seeing as he sprayed it himself not a bad collection huh?

Guest Garfy Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Yep, 100% deffo a dolly sprint sohc 16v lump! TR7 box was either out of a marina (4MT) or a SD1 (5MT) so nothing to brag about!!!! its a 5 speed, it might not be the best box in the world mate, but its was something my dad did, and the reason he chose those parts was 1) because he didn't have much money 2) because he wanted to keep it Triumph parts. and I'm very proud of what he did.
