I just acquired a second hand set of carbs with decent mounts off ebay since mine were on their last legs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRAJ Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 I haven't really done anything yet Steve, although the estate is up, running, MOTd and taxed so I have a bit of a headstart over your Sprint :)Colin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radders Posted February 6, 2012 Author Share Posted February 6, 2012 I've not done much either. Still awaiting the return of the newly rebuilt engine from the engineer. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Sharp Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 MY 1975 Mk 2 2000 is now back from Mr Barker and is being very carefully run in !!!! It has a 2500 lump now so I am itching to find out what it can do but behaving myself in the meantime. I have an Oil cooler to fit when it goes in for its 500 mile service. This is mostly for future plans but will be useful on the RBBR ! Having now had a heart transplant and new hips and Knees (UJ's, mounts, rear shocks, springs and driveshafts) My only worries are the front suspension and the Auto box but I think they will be OK. That only leaves the cosmetics and these can be disguised with stickers for this year!Spitty Mk 3 in Bits.TR6 awaiting new seat foams a seat belt and an MOT but otherwise good.

Stuart Wilson Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I've still not made any progress with the TR but have started on the Nova so once that is done the TR will get my attention..............well thats the plan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Sharp Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Running in my new 2500 lump slowly does it! otherwise all is well with the Mk 2 saloon.TR6 has passed its MOT so is on unofficial back up duty.Spitfire Mk 3. Weldathon is finished and it is awaiting the return of its doors and boot from the media blasters. In the meantime I am assembling the new brakes.Darren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Wilson Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Nova rally car is coming along nicely now, I'm off work next week so you never know TR work might start........... ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aar0sc Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 My Spit now has a fresh MoT, and seems to be basically reliable, so now I'm doing things that are "details" - mending the cigar lighter, fitting the gauge properly etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
