Already got it. Although a TR8 coupe would be nice to round it out. Bob's TR7/V8 Quaker State car that was on sale last year for a quarter mil. would be nice to trailer queen to car shows (there's no race tracks around here since the natives squelched the proposed major racetrack/drag strip/oval/motocross/equestrian centre that would have rivaled anything in the Pacific Northwest all because it was determined to be on "culturally significant" ground a million dollars into the project).

My fantasy wedge is FI Spyder's Spider! I love mine, but I wish I could go back in time and keep it in pristine condition from new.

My fantasy wedge would be my car with;

#1 - with a stripped to the tub resto, (("Beans style"))
#2 - full Woody 5.0l engine swap and suspension upgrade
#3 - and finally a 2+2 conversion .... maybe even with a late Grinnall body kit [:p]

#4 - A java green Pre-Prod '77 TR8 coupe with automatic restored completely original.

Hummm... I would have to say it's a loaded question but after a bit of thought I would list these things on my build sheet

new DHC shell
power folding steel roof (definatly a design challenge a la SLK?)
extended wheel base by pushing the wheels further to the rear
2+2 with slightly extended doors to ease access
GRP 44 body with molded rear bumper (Lanocha)
5Ltr, Wildcay heads, supercharger, multiport fuel injection
T56 6 spd transmission
big brakes disc all around (Wedge shop)
uprated roll bars front and back (Ted's)
adjustable ride height air suspension

Most of all a BIG wallet full of cash!!

Clay - I had some high res shots of this car, since the guy used my front and rear fascias. "Hurried" is the best way I can describe the work.

I see zero usability in the door mirrors.
