You've been a busy man my friend.

My Sunday consisted of work on the TR8:

1) Replacement of the gas struts in the trunk (what a pain)

2) Replacement of the glove box straps.

General cleaning up of the trunk...

Hi Larry,
Did you replace them with the stock fiberboard ones, which are oddly expens=
ive for the engine bay valences, or did you find a better alternative.Mine =
are bad too.
Thanks,

You've been a busy man my friend.
My Sunday consisted of work on the TR8:
1) Replacement of the gas struts in the trunk (what a pain)
2) Replacement of the glove box straps.
General cleaning up of the trunk...

Well....
where to begin?

Working on the race car- removed the rear scca arches and left a huge void.
Found (amazingly in good shape) Round fenders with arches for the sprite.
Welded the arches in and redid the rear of the vehicle. All in primer now.
Got the front bonnet back. (Not sure which company made it - looks like a
little sebring like) Need to fill pin holes and fit the unit.- more
aerodynamic and saves weight.
Created a fiberglass mold for the dash. - saves weight
cut out the guts of the doors- saved weight
Changed the steering column out-old style non collapsable one in-save a lot
of weight.
Removed old rockers in and out that were filled with everything from
aluminum foil to gum wrappers. wow- less weight new Rockers.
Welding skills becoming borderline excellent.
Powder coated calipers.
New Sway bar and mount- old mount was shit and couldnt have done much as it
was off angle.
Removed rear Panhard bar as a semi elliptical sprite doesnt/shouldnt need
it.-saves weight.
New Motor-almost finished-fucking Covid19 keeping my guide from helping me.
New everything on it as well as a little overbore. Aluminum rear engine
plate-saves weight.
New weber for this motor.=3D i can have 2 ready to go motors.
Rebuilt straight cut close ratio gearbox for sprite.- goes faster
all these savings of weight may account to about 100+ lbs.
that is equal to about 10 HP in this car.

Now for the mini Moke-
just about finished.
Made new Canvas roof and carpet set and rear tyre cover.
Fit exhaust and all the necessary things to get this British Motor Heritage
certificate. (received)
Looking forward to PVGP as I think Carlisle and Jeff 500 and probably mid
ohio will be cancelled.
Everyone- stay safe and let me know if you need any help.
Cheers
Toby

Here's my exercise in "don=E2=80=99t fix it if it ain't broke:"
Replaced fuzzy door seal ,  driverside, (piece of cake, I'm on a roll)
Remove and replace driverside waist seal ,inner and outer. What a PITA =
!!!
Followed the directions although I had done this long ago.  Lossened the =
window as per instructions  but glass got out  of the channel, the =
channel  fell down,could not fish it out and took an hour to get all =
back together.  Clips wouldn=E2=80=99t hold the outer waist  seal in =
place,  had to  resort  screws but out of sight. Might have to paint the =
screw heads black to keep them out of sight
Inner waist seal was easier but same problem, the clips would  not hold =
the seal  in place, had resort to two sided  Gorilla tape.  The =
concourse judges surely won=E2=80=99t miss this.
Replacing the door  card was the same old problem of getting the pins =
back in the door and window handle.  Lost the pins, made new ones from =
coat  hanger, struggled,  finally got them in place now afraid to  crank =
the window or open the door for fear the handles will fall off.
Worked about four hours, getting up and down numerous times, I  ache all =
over, my back hurts, legs and thighs, went to bed early.
My god, I still have the passinger side to do.=20
PJ

start it off.
no points to check.
