Truenotch Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Wow that's tidy! Please keep it looking as stock as possible (apart from slam and wheels) and make sure you hide any stereo upgrades accordingly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slacker_Sam. Posted November 15, 2011 Author Share Posted November 15, 2011 My thoughts exactly. Ill be keeping the original wheels, hubcaps & springs so that I can put it back to stock if need be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoozin Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Speechless. That's incredibly mint and I'm incredibly jealous Nice score Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullitt Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Love your changes other than the bonnet which I would have left green. Looks really good in that colour, don't recall the last time I saw a green one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cletus Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 bonnet looks out of place on such a minter otherwise is sweet as! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuel Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 I hope you didn't sand back the original bonnet! I'm not adverse to those mods but why would you want to do it to a completely immaculate original car, it's pretty much ruining its appeal don't you think? Don't you have other Triumphs to 'rat' up instead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slacker_Sam. Posted December 28, 2011 Author Share Posted December 28, 2011 I've kept the original bonnet. I would never sand down such a mint bonnet! I wasnt going to put the rusty one on but, in the heat of the moment i thought I would chuck it on just for a look. And Fuel it still is immaculate, I could quite easily put it back to standard in a matter of hours. as for appeal, it all depends on who your appealing to.

Snoozin Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Those wheels look bang on man! Personally I'd slap some smaller tyres on it though. Grille looks good, matches the PI/S garnish that someones popped on the back panel between the tail lights too. My grandad had a BRG 2000 Mk2, it's where my enthusiasm for these cars comes from I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mixmasterlex Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Gotta say I think it looks better all green, rusty bonnets look good on cars with mismatched panels, etc.. Diggin the rest of what you've done though man! Look after it, she's tidy as. Such a sweet colour too. Never seen another in that colour driving around...

Slacker_Sam. Posted December 28, 2011 Author Share Posted December 28, 2011 Yeah I think the rusty bonnet will be coming off shortly. There is some major camber going on in the rear! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoeddynz Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I've kept the original bonnet. I would never sand down such a mint bonnet! I wasnt going to put the rusty one on but, in the heat of the moment i thought I would chuck it on just for a look. Phew! standard mint bonnet... Rusty bonnet... Wheels are hot! Looking sweet. so mint. A older fella in Blenheim has his dark green MK1 for sale. Ohhhhhh always at the wrong time..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Revhead Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Another +1 for the green bonnet to be refitted. Also I personally do not like more camber on rear than front. But yeah, am amazed at the condition! Awesome! Did you spot the cheap one on TM in mot late last year? I was tempted to look at it but decided I'd best not as I have no room/time/money for another car. I do loves trumpets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I quite like the rusty bonnet look on this TBH - harks back to the race spec with black bonnets. Would be especially awesome if the number plate was stenciled onto the rusty bonnet.. My 2c = keep it as is and roll mint bonnet when it suits the occasion.. change em around like ties.. Also top marks on such a pearler find.. GOOD score!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was tempted to look at it but decided I'd best not as I have no room/time/money for another car. I do loves trumpets I'm going to do as "K-trips" said, swap the bonnets to suit the occasion. Im heading to nelson car show in Febuary so ill be running the mint green bonnet in that. And are we talking about the white one with red interior for $950? if so that was mine, I was selling it. I payed $400 for it, used it as a runner for a while whilst fixing my celica, then sold it. I thought $950 was about right, it ran well, and was pretty tidy but was nothing special. I see people asking stupid money on TM for 2000's or 2500 TC's when they're not really worth it. Only the PI's or the S's are worth the real coin. As for the green one, I didn't actually want it but the price was far to good to pass on. There was a 1977 Reg on hold Manual O/D 2.5 TC for sale in nelson for $350, paint was shot, and a wee bit of rust. very fixable still. I didnt have the room for it though. The bloke might still have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
