1981 Triumph TR7 Drophead


The good:
-fuel injected - injectors were rebuilt
-added under-hood fuel pressure gauge
-runs clean
-replaced waterpump
-replaced alternator (with GM unit)
-replaced shifter bushings
-replaced reverse switch
-replaced firewall bushing
-replaced starter - now hi-torque
-replaced tie rod ends
-replaced fuel filter
-replaced center muffler - with a "cherry bomb" style from jegs - sounds fine
-replaced all fuel hoses under the hood
-replaced plenum air hoses from air box to throttle to plenum
-replaced rubber elbows form plenum to manifold
-replaced intake gasket
-replaced cold start injector
-replaced rear brake shoes
-replaced fuel pump mounting rubbers
-rebuilt wheel cylinders
-rebuilt dizzy (by Jeff Schlemmer)-new cap, rotor, wires
-headlight travel normally
-replaced damaged tail lights with used units - all functional
-replaced missing high bar on luggage rack
-replace trunk tray that covers the spare
-doors fit snugly (they really rattled before)
-door glass fits snugly (both windows rattled horribly)
-no holes in the roof - but needs a new rear window
-doesn't leak - believe it, no puddles under the car!
-3-trumpet air horns.
-with a front end alignment, and a new back window, this could be a daily driver

The bad:
-Needs a front end alignment
-While there isn't much rust, there plenty of little dents and dings along the body
-no spare
-missing a hubcap, maybe two.
-seats need some new foam and recovered - I have a full leather hide that a shop could use to replace the seating area
-throttle wants to stick a little when warmed up

I'll pull it out soon, dust it off, and shoot some pictures. Here is link to existing pics I took in 2009 when I had it on the road when I lived in WV. I haven't had it inspected or registered since I moved back to PA last year.

Tim,

I remember seeing your car online prior to your move to PA, thinking I wanted to contact you but got into a boat instead and had no time or space for another toy.

Well, the boat is gone and the garage is empty most of the time. I would like to talk to you about your TR7 for sale.

I know you are 500 plus miles away. I have no intention of asking you to ship, pickup would be in person.

I am new to this forum. First time using it and not sure if this is a public comment. If it isn;t, I will followup with a second post including my number. Could we hook up by phone tomorrow?

Thanks!

Vincent

Hi Vincent,

I just ordered new wheel cylinders, as the rebuild, apparently, wasn't
enough. At this time, the battery is dead as can be and I'll have to
replace it.

Other than that, it has a fresh layer of dust.

hi tim, i like the car and am looking for an older daily driver. is the
car still for sale?
Comment by Tim Nagy at 2012-04-11 07:23:37
it actually is still available - just much more dusty.
Comment by Brian F. at 2012-04-11 17:40:12
i live about 3hrs away, i could offer you more if you got the front end
alignment done before i got down there. so my offer is 1400 with out the
alignment and 1700 with it.
