Or discuss how I should have finished the Starlet instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Previous owner put it on as a p/plate in honour of his favourite second cousin, Barry Quentin Howatson, born August 1974. Gonna leave it red for the interim and go bang some dudes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snoozin Posted August 16, 2016 Author Share Posted August 16, 2016 Looks the ideal vehicle for filling the boot with lots of doof doof and summer cruising with an arm out the window. This one. I need to upgrade the alternator, as it's 30A at 13.8V or something, whatever was the style at the time. Then I'll throw some speakers and amps I have had stashed away at it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 You should be able to get decent Bosch 100A internally regulated alternators piece of cake. I would say they are just as easy to convert as the 55amp ones are http://www.triumphexp.com/phorum/read.php?8,737451,page=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxted Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 i always gave my work mate stick about his "S" sway bar model trumpet, what does it actually denote? i really like these in red very nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoozin Posted August 21, 2016 Author Share Posted August 21, 2016 When they dropped the PI model in '75 I guess they wanted a new 'flagship,' so they chucked power steer, swaybar, alloys and emissions spec SU HS6 carbs at a 2500TC, added some blackout "SPORTS" accentes and created the S.

Snoozin Posted August 22, 2016 Author Share Posted August 22, 2016 I lost one. Just a 1/2" UNF nut, it's currently still missing as I deemed it unnecessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
