Hi,
Thank you all for the info. I am tired of being beat at VTR judging by really ratty TR7s just because they are original.
At one judging, a blue TR7 drove in to park for judging and the muffler fell off before he could back the car into place. The other TR7 at the show was a Spider, but when you opened the hood (Bonnet) everything was covered with east Texas red dirt. The Blue car took 1st, the Spider took second and my spotless TR7 took third. The judges told me that I lost points because the rack was missing, the wheels were changed, the mirrors were wrong and the carbs where not original.
So, I am spending a lot of time and money to change everything back to original, but it means finding all the parts and setting everything up properly.I have never liked the laurel leaf, so I want to use the medallion on the front. I have found a set of TR8 Alloy wheels I am going to use instead of the Panasports but I am having to get them soda blasted and then I will repaint them. I am getting a set of Stromburgs to replace the Webers, and putting on a new top. I have already put a rack back in place, but I have painted it semi-gloss black.
Now I just have to find a set of decals for the back in Gold, the ones with "Triumph" on the left rear and the filled-in "TR7" on the right and order an original set of mirrors from Tex. And new waist seals from Robsport. Should I change out the radio . . . ?
Have fun, drive fast & safe, be kewl,
