Stripped most of the trim off of this today minus the front grill Goes for paint on wednesday will have it for a week and a half

Had a few fuel problems with this with daily use so we changed fuel pump filters and lines..... It didn't turn out to be the problem.... it just turns out that under a quarter tank the pump stops picking up and pumping fuel!! Now i know to keep it above quarter of a tank... haha In other news the car is booked in for a full respray next Wednesday!! I have decided to keep the sunroof for now at the advice from my panelbeater who said it would be a lot of work to fill so will look at this at a later date That means this weekend will consist of stripping all the chrome from the outside so its ready to be dropped off on Wednesday!! Two things to look at while car is in paint is building a roof rack like below to fit the existing roof rack holes and getting the roof rack chromed and ready to put on with new gaskets!! Stoked to finally be doing things to make it look better!! This also means slam is closer.... Discuss here.. //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/49975-connors-pi-wag/#entry1582774

Wednesday i'll be there even with the new hack

Forgot to fill washer bottle... Pretty sweet for sitting in a shed for 7 years haha Will get new seat belt on sunday arvo, new park light bulb and fill the washer bottle too Monday will get new brake pads fitted and either lose the rear muffler which is the bit touching the driveshaft or bend it in a few mm... Then will have a wof and can book it in for respray!! Discuss: http://oldschool.co....g/#entry1582774

New engine mounts in tonight. Will fill window washer bottle tomorrow morning and take the fucker for a wof!!

This is so so sweet!!

3 Days and finally got this thing running today after a lot of persuasion We ended up changing out the whole ignition system minus the distributor.... And it runs and runs well!! Sits just above 2k revs at 100k in 4th gear Very much faster then my last two cars and a lot less rattly Here is a few videos of it running Before we had it timed properly so backfiring and spluttery When we got it to idle Sounds fucking cool I was quite happy And it just sounds so good Will get a new battery and take it for a wof Very happy boy Discuss: http://oldschool.co....g/#entry1582774

My spare one is the same!!

Sorry for potato phone pics camera is buried in uni shit that got seconded to trumph So got to have a good look at this today A shit tonne of useful and valuable parts with the car things that will be helpful, can redo the fuel system twice. Still have another van trip to go and get all the subframes extra gearboxes and other engine... Have pulled the fuel system apart checked over it to make sure all is well, it was. We pulled the gas tank out to make sure it was clean. We also Converted the car to electronic distributor. The unit was fried, so we converted back to points... First on the list is a rotor arm and new distributor cap for the engine thats in the car to get it running, which we will do tomorrow. Next is order an engine rebuild kit from rimmer bros for the cars original engine which has the tr6 cam. While I am waiting for this we will go get this thing wofed and rego'd hopefully without a hitch. Biggest problem is crazy cracking which covers the whole roof, around the fuel cap and the bonnet. This will get done when roof rack is removed and filled... Car is insanely tidy a small bit of surface rust has come up in stonechips on the roof this will get fixed with crazy cracking, but can't really find any other cancer at all Hopefully we can have it running tomorrow!! Am after a steel grill and pre facelift bumpers in goodish condition too if you know of anything!! Discuss: //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/49975-connors-pi-wag/#entry1582774

You may remember my (and beavers) old estate ....... I missed it like crazy Since then I built and sold this.... And after a lot of searching I got contacted about this last week. So today I payed for it, the base car is an original Triumph 2500 pi mk2 estate with 4 speed o/d. Was restored or tidied up in the early to mid 90's. Sadly a terrible aftermarket sunroof was added at this time, along with a modern roof rack which was screwed into the roof.... At least it is pretty much rust free Plans at this stage are to remove the sunroof and fill the holes in the roof along with a tidy up of the crazy cracking that has occurred at the rear of the roof and around the fuel cap. Rebuild the engine and tidy up engine bay.. Summer involves getting some coilovers made up and building some 15" 3 piece wheels to fit Future future involves new carpets, re trimming some retro fixed backs in the original leather from the spare front seats and re trimming the boot floor and back of rear seat in hardwood. Also has a tonne of spare parts including a full leather spare interior, a couple of Pi engines, a couple of o/d gearboxes, a few diffs and a nos tailgate and bottom valance I pick it up in 6 weeks time on the way back from uni will update then Heres a few more pictures...
