Great news. The parts available from TRS are mouth watering. I wouldn't mind that front valance but can't see it on their website.
Noting the anti-role bar clamps are a lot further inboard that normal. Is there a benefit to this?
How was the Monaro? Did it have the benefit of modern brakes?

Hi Peter,
On the front valance, I'm not sure where Ian got it from, but I'm sure if you emailed him .......... ! (it may even be the same as the one Troy was using on his gravel car here in Aus which I believe he had moulds for!?)
On the anti-roll bar set-up, the car runs a tubular cradle type sub-frame rather than the original pressed steel type , again this was designed by TRS during the build so I am guessing that is why the clamps etc are located differently!? If Ian did it, there is an advantage there somewhere ....... !
As for the Monaro, it was a blast; 500+ bhp, rear wheel drive and old school, (no power steering etc). We went ok, finished 11th overall in Classic outright, and finished 5th in early Classic Handicap after running 3rd for most of the event [V] On the brakes front, yep, definately modern, had a full Willwood set-up at the front.
Somehow I keep getting rides in V8's, started in a '71 GTHO Falcon, then the TR7V8, the Monaro plus I did Targa Tasmania this year in a Ford Capri Perana - that was quick too! [:D]
PS:- As Beans pointed out elsewhere, the TR needs it's roof mounted air-intakes modded for when the weather is less than dry - check the pics to see why ................ [;)] [:)]
