Quoted from Raider Don't you worry, technically the car will remain the same. As the mechanics are pretty much sorted I'll leave as they are. Only the clutch needs sorting, as it still has a tendency to stick when the engine is cold. ![]() 1976 TR7 FHC (currently undergoing some TLC ...) 1980 TR7 DHC (a.k.a.

Beans, Looking quite strong at the rear suspension area, wish mine had looked like that when I stripped them down. Can you see the state of the cill strengtheners through the inner cill holes?

Exactly my idea. As soon as the body is completely stripped I will have the paint and rust chemically stripped. ![]() 1976 TR7 FHC (currently undergoing some TLC ...) 1980 TR7 DHC (a.k.a.

Have you considered doing a 2+2 conversion? Ideal opportunity with the body this well stripped. I did a 2+2 to my dhc four years ago and can show you a few pics of how if interested. Spitfire Mk3 - 2.5Stag Mk2 Capri Mk1 |
