The coolest car website on the planet has now been graced by our Triumph TR7! Thanks to Murilee for the post!

Last Sunday we got a lot of work done:

Wired the alternator
installed new fuel filter
cut rear springs to lower the car about 2 inches
rolled the rear fender lips for clearance
checked and cleaned the rear brake shoes. cylinders and drums
replaced a steering shaft bush at the firewall
repaired a leak to the trans cooler
painted the rocker panels all around
test drive and checked for leaks

This Sunday the 16th we will have the whole team present, here is the check list of thingss to do:

Cut front springs
slot shock tower holes for camber adjustment
change oil and filter
change trans fluid and filter
tune up, cap rotor plugs timing etc.
install new front brakes, rotors, calipers and pads
grease front wheel bearings
paint front wheels
paint white portion of the car
replace top radiator hose
rivet panel from front spoiler to radiator for added cooling

It would be nice to have a test day at Sears point the end of the month if feasible, who knows what bits might fall off once on a race track!
