Il be there, no reg no wof no worries...

Checked for oiled plug??????????????

+1 for the touring, so much better lookin than coupe

Just look at the back..

lovin the lowlight panel..

Such a mean conversion, fit sme Lucas fograngers in there for extra bling.

All you need now is one of those alta OHV conversions and a shorrock supercharger for serious OS cool

And the link..

Same designer, Harris Mann.

Nice waistcoat buddy

TR7 = Princess coupe

Prefer the 4 door version, at least you got hydragas

O and you haven't already check ot the re opus upgrade...

Makes a huge difference as they all well and truly stuffed now and can put timing out 10 degrees at any time

Pre HE plus manual = Danger!!!

Good shit dude, your brave takin the dash out, talk about the worst job in the world

at least you dont have to put the ac back in, was my all time most hated job at Jag...

Mechanical Injection rox my sox off

Good to see someone putin it on rather than takin it off, seen too many geezers turn tr5's and the like into gutless heaps

with su's ppl are scared of the Lucas injection like its witchcraft

Basic as compared to modern systems.

Mint trumpy, keen to get another now after seeing your one.

Ha stoned typing strikes again..

550 seems reasonable but bargain him and do it !!!!!!!!!!!!

Its a scientifically proven fact that webers in pairs makes your driving improve tenfold....

Is your iron head or steel????

If steel you will need the iron head, why not put the strombergs on????

Had a Holbay Rapier which uses same motor with twin webers factory and it flew

But made my previous one just as fast with basic porting, good extractors and strombergs

Not called the hunter grunter for nuthin..

Webers do make a wicked sound that is worth every cent tho

you got workin trafficators?? The Humbers work

That thing in parcel tray is a shit as ol fuel cap that came with it, dont know what its off..

Will look in stocks if ya need switch as have lots of ol Lucas and Trico switches for pom gear of same age group

Took plugs out today and had to use strong arm bar

Wrong plugs were in it about half an inch too short, was told car was parked up as wasn't running right back in the early 80's then left after demise of owner.. Not surprised it didnt run well would be well down in power of which it doesn't have

Hi James here, Dorklander formerly from the Hutt...

Responsible for saving and also sending a lot of cars to Pick A Part, Euro mechanic turned car restorer

got bored and now build up scooters etc.. Current fleet below plus just added a Peugeot 504 and looking at a

singer sm1500!!! Also '25 Rolls Royce phantom 1 in the shed, serious long term proj

been a while since I modified from standard, so the Peugeot will be full custom just to break the resto cycle

will start a proj thread at some stage after new year

Heard about oldschool from the joys of googling...

Saw that Henney thing on ebay awhile back... 64kph top speed!!! American built using Renault Dauphine bodies..

Bet they sold heaps in the states. yeah right!!!

1 Jaguar xj13

2 Skoda 110R

3 either Toyota 2000gt or Bolwell Nagari

Had same problem with Ryco- Repco oil filters on mercedes 102 and 103 motors in 190E and 300E's and alike, sudden drop in oil pressure at speed or at idle after long run was cured instantly by just spinning on the genuine item..

Purrflux manufactured from memory, think sometimes with aftermarket parts suppliers close is good enough in terms of fitting, the non-return valve was at the bottom of the filter in the repco reccomended part whereas the valve on the benz filter is at the top due to the filters being mounted high and upside down..

Also gave up on fram when the filter on my Sunbeam Rapier rusted through and dumped its oil in two secons flat on the way to work, it was less than six months old!! Rusted faster than british steel- that must be a record!!

Picked this up from outer Hamilton, only one owner from new!! Sat for last twenty years even has the carless day sticker still on....

Got running the other day after rebuilding fuel pump, drove around block even has brakes still but clutch rusted up, not enough power to split the two on the road.. 10 hp sidevalve old R.A.C rating tho.. bout thirty of todays ponies.

body really straight was going to do a rat rod but going to go for the restored/ mild custom look
