Thanks all of you. This car was wrecked when young and sat in a garage for years and was finally fixed. The hood was damaged but not much else, the original owner ran under the back end of a truck. However, the car set outside(covered with a vinyl tarp)for years before being repaired. A friend of mine bought the vehicle(after a new hood was fitted and other repairs done, including a complete paint job, which wiped out the decals) and was scared to drive it because of how low the car was compared to other vehicles on the road and sold it to me for the unbelievable price of $750.00. Original miles: 10,103 when I bought it, now 10,443. It is hard to shift into second when cold, it needs a new top(age deterioration), the interior is not bad, new radio has been installed, clock works sometimes(but mostly not), power is good, in my opinion, and it corners great. Changed oil, took apart the FASD and cleaned it and it now idles and runs great, put a new dip stick tube on it(using fuel line of the correct size) and did a few other things to it. I love this car and I appreciate all the help you have given me so far on this forum. I have had 3 offers to buy, one from a British lady here for a visit, and two from locals who don't even know what a TR7 is, let alone a triumph car of any type! Thanks again and sorry for the long post.
