So.. apparently the consensus on buying a TR7 is to buy a solid example
and to take good care of it. Well, this so far appears to be a solid
example and it is up to Maria to take care of it but it has two immediate
things which create big question marks in my mind:
1. The car shimmys horribley coming to a stop. The owner sez that it is
wanting an alignment. The symptoms seem to point more towards front
rotors needing turning or replacing but I don't know what all causes
shimmy.
2. The AC compressor is bad. Owner claims it has a stuck valve which can
be repaired and that the compresseor is the same one as Ford used at that
time. Is this really a Ford type compressor and how much would one be
looking at to rebuild or replace the compressor in this car?
