Hi All,
as i've recently registered on here, i thought i'd best come and say hello!
I'm hoping to find myself a TR7 coupe/hardtop in need of restoration. Never owned one before but have owned well over 200 cars in my time so got plenty of experience to draw on!
I've got a few different cars in mind as a resto project so it may be i don't end up with a Wedge but i'm getting hopeful at the moment!
If i do get one, i'll get it to MoT standard and then treat it as a rolling resto and as things go wrong/break/wear out, i'll replace/modify/upgrade them. For example, i'll be fitting an uprated alternator, Accuspark or similar electronic ignition, electric cooling fan etc.
At some point in time i'd like to improve the lighting at the sharp end and plan to fit halogen conversions to the standard 7" headlamp bowl. Also i'd like to fit a pair of round driving lamps above the bumper and a pair of rectangular fog lamps under the bumper. I've heard there are brackets to fit the driving lamps above and i wondered if they're still available - does anybody know please?
As for the fogs, i'm sure i'll be able to find somewhere to mount them - where i live they're a necessity, not a luxury!
Look forward to finding and owning a Wedge and getting involved on here!
Cheers,
Dave
