@Leroy Peterson, can you give us some more info? Where did you find this? it looks to be in amazing condition. 
Are you into English cars or did this just peak your interest this time? I'd love to hear the background to this.

Leroy! My god! That's gonna hurt... I hope you are good with electrics! did you get a warranty? (jk).

I bet he's shopping for that warranty before attempting to do anything to it :P

I've decided to keep track of the build here: http://www.zeitakuvip.com/forum/member-s-rides/non-vip-builds/22023-triumph-tr7

After the whole Photobucket fiasco, i dont really want to be posting on multiple forums again... except some odd updates on the pulsar on SAU. All the detail is on PGA.

Everyone carrying on about rust has me real worried about the car. like how do you wash a car that rusts easily? cant use water lol. It also will be sitting outside for a week or two which has me concerned... ill buy a cover for it I think

Thanks for putting that link up. I'll be lurking in the background (like always!).

Yeah dolomite sprint. Think it needs a lot of work. Might have been a parts car.

Doesn't look too rusty on the surface.

Once you dig deeper...

I'm tempted to look at it haha

Whoa, I'm seeing double! 

Haha, one is silver, one is white. Also one is knackered (gearbox issues) and one is in mint condition...

Gearbox issues, is it under warranty? 

Silver one is knackered. It has just become my daily, i've had it for two years and it has served me well so far. It's certainly not under any kind of warranty.
The gearbox had a it of a meltdown about 3 or 4 months ago and was flaring and carrying on. I ignored it (like you do) and then finally at the service mentioned it was "a bit rough". They recommended a new gearbox for 10k. I declined and we looked at the new models, but none of them were my thing. In the end, we came back to the same model, only this one has been well kept, well serviced and has every conceivable option these things came with. 
If the gearbox does go, it will be a project for my friends and I to change it over and see if we can reprogram the car. Surprisingly it has been very well behaved since the initial problems, but i'm pretty much expecting it to stop moving the back wheels at any stage now. When it does, bring on the spanners... :)

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
