Slacker_Sam. Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Haha this thread made me chuckle. The best part of the Welsh sticker is I actually have been to Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch on a steam train. It was lush. As for the shuvette its going cheap.

Slacker_Sam. Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 $1500 for the shuv. It needs nothing now. has wof until December. Not quite 93 I think Mr.Yoeddynz may have added an extra 83 to the actual number. She's a 2.0L fo shizzle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1ton Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Good score, already looks the part, lovin that crochet blanket too, my '72 2000 MkII came with a similar one. Also was extremely low at the rear with copious camber to match, luckily its got air-shocks tho. So rare to find non cracked dash, aside from the paint and that rear door your 2000 looks quite straight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slacker_Sam. Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Cheers. Internally my one is immaculate, carpet seats, dash all mint. Just the paint has turned to crap. I quite like the faded look on it though so im planning to leave it that way. I'm looking for a pair of air shocks for mine. Its a bit too low at the back. Its not good for the bearings & tyres having all that camber & toe. I've chucked some spring spacers in to raise it up about an inch until I find some air shocks.

Muncie Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 been a late 2 litre you can extract more power than a 2.5 keep it in add a hot cam and injection it'll scream to 7000rpm without touching the bottom end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoeddynz Posted August 6, 2013 Author Share Posted August 6, 2013 Yeah the 2000's are well known to be a very sweet engine when tickled. I am amazed at that dash not being cracked. That's the first time I have ever seen a trump without two little cracks running back from the speaker grill. Ever! Even our pommy triumphs had cracks. Is this one a nelson car originally ie hot sun? Given the paint it looks to have seen hot sun. The trump we sold two months ago had a strange thing.. It had a straight boot lid. If viewed from the side it didn't bow up in the middle. How's the boot lid on this one? It's a trump thing but all the ones but for our last are bent up. Does it do the funky trump 'boing' sound from the back when going round a tight corner? It's the boot lid springs flexing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOHC Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 I had my 2000 shit the bottom end from high revs, then bend a valve from more high revs, those engines can hammer away with bad bearings for years. is the oil pump not up to the job?

Slacker_Sam. Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Hehe clearly you didn't look inside my green, red, white or caramel trumps. All proudly sporting un-cracked dashboards... Well I cheated on the green one it had a brand new (NOS) dash. It was bought new in Hamilton. Nelson assembled. I haven't actually paid much attention to the boot lid. Ive sort of gotten used to them being slightly bent/curved. My green one was straight from memory. Ahh yes the trademark Trumpy "boing" All of mine have done it. I think its caused by the sub frame moving on the rubber bushes causing the slip joints to bind up. Causing it to kind of hold the sub frame on the piss until the slip joints free up.
