Add TS41927LO to the list of the living.
After rebuilding the front suspension, fixing both wings, rebuilding the
brakes, fixing various and sundry wiring problems, rebuilding the carbs,
touching up the steering (still loose), new rear springs, rewiring the
overdrive (opening the relay as well and cleaning the contacts - boy am I
cheap), staying off the rust (right) in the floor, and many other tasks,
took my (still uninspected) TR3A to get gas the long way round. I think she
really liked it, I know I did. Even though she still needs new clothes, I
got many stares, couple of Miatas almost went into the ditch (I own one of
them too) they were staring so hard.
As I said, steering seems a little loose but maybe because I'm used to R&P.
Sudden change in direction with a quick change in power - need help here -
something to do with torque and its affect on steering. Also, left hand turn
and the left front wheel squeals - toe in?
Ran a little rough at first but seemed to smooth out after time - new gas -
happy to be on the road - ?
Need at least one new wheel but have 4 60 spokes waiting in the wings.
Still much bodywork to do but reasonably sure she'll make it through
inspection. Brakes seem weak but then there's no booster so what can I
expect.
Father-in-law was with me - 70 some years old and he was in 7th heaven.
Going to have to take the key to work with me tomorrow or he'll probably
take it home with him.
Andy (happy) D.
