GreenTC Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 A conversation thread for my Triumph, because I read the rules and that's how it works around here. //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/49647-greentcs-1978-triumph-2500tc/ 3 Quote
Beaver Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 Looking good, that paint job looks fantastic! Ive had three triumphs in the past (2000, 2500s and a 2000 estate), very understated cars and such nice cruisers, especially with the OD boxes 1 Quote

Quite a rare sight nowadays too! Quote
Connor Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 I used to live down the road from the guy that had that haha. For future reference an old dude in tauranga stocks most parts from rimmers so it only takes a day rather then whatever it takes from rimmers and he charges the same.. Got all the bit for the estate through him.. 1 Quote
Snoozin Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 Damn that's good - I've always liked this colour! 1 Quote
Lump Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 Looking sharp! You got a good score with that crack free dash and interior parts 1 Quote

Got all the bit for the estate through him.. That's interesting, were you local to Matata? Looking sharp! You got a good score with that crack free dash and interior parts Currently in the process of fitting the whole lot. I really love how straight forward things used to be, I even understand most of the wiring which is a first for me haha. I'll update the project thread once I've got some photos where it's actually recognisable. Quote
sr2 Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 What a fantastic car, thanks for sharing. Having had it in the family since new makes it very special. 2 Quote
maxted Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 nice car man, my work mate has one the exact same colour lowered on 15's, cool little cars, wood grain is neat looks good 1 Quote
SOHC Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 I know where there is a interior for a Triumph 2500 seats door cards etc, I can inquire if you want, Quote
GreenTC Posted August 18, 2015 Author Posted August 18, 2015 I know where there is a interior for a Triumph 2500 seats door cards etc, I can inquire if you want, If you could find out what colour (seats in particular). If it's the lighter colour I may be interested. Quote
Threeonthetree Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 I may have a need for the instrument cluster. Also, I have a complete light interior in my car that I will be removing. Very tidy condition. 1 Quote
GreenTC Posted August 19, 2015 Author Posted August 19, 2015 I may have a need for the instrument cluster. Also, I have a complete light interior in my car that I will be removing. Very tidy condition. All I really need is a drivers seat if I'm honest. The rest is pretty good. And the cluster is all yours if you want (I'm keeping the old gauges as spares). Quote
SOHC Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 I am pretty sure its the darker brown one not the bone colour but I will txt him now Quote
Indiana_Jones Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 mmm snot green Triumph 2500, looks nice mate. I must try one of those cars one day. Quote
yoeddynz Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 nice car man, my work mate has one the exact same colour lowered on 15's, cool little cars, wood grain is neat looks good Ahhh that was the one at the car show? It is wicked looking!!! So cool. Mr Greentc. I love this colour- probably my favourite trump colour. Very nice with that fresh paint job. You are lucky to find a console without a crack around the choke. The last 4 trumps Ive owned all had cracks there. Quote
GreenTC Posted August 22, 2015 Author Posted August 22, 2015 Does anyone know anything about rear brakes on these? I've swapped my leaking wheel cylinder over for one from Zebra but now the shoes are spread so bloody far apart I can't et the drum back on! Any advice apart from pull it apart and try again? Quote
BLIZZO Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 Adjust the rear shoes or try compress the shoes in, if you really can't get it crack the nipple and compress the shoes then re bleed the brakes. Nice work by the way, she's a swish looking motor. I too have not seen a trump without a Crack around the choke, or in my case around the fuel enrichment knob. Shod go for a trump cruise sometime when I figure out how to make my clutch work Quote
