She actually started! [Updated with interior pics]
So, in order to test all kinds of things that I've been messing with over the past 4 months, I finally fired the old girl up and took her for a spin. Details are as follows:
Rat-co throttle linkage: The throttle never felt so responsive even before the triple carbs, I recommend this upgrade to any TR
Spax shocks for the rear: Wow, my cantelever shocks were in great shape, but this is a nice upgrade none-the-less. the shocks give the car a much more confidence in the curvies.
J-type overdrive: One word: SAHWEET! Once I figured out which direction (up or down) turns the darned thing on. I haven't had it on the highway yet, but gives a nice reduction in RPMs in 3rd and 4th.
Leather Seats: Very supple (I hate that word), it feels like I sit 2 inches higher because the foams are new. The seats are still a tad too small for my taste, but infinitely more comfortable. I should have the rest of the carpet and the passenger seat in by Sunday so I can take some pics.
Two-winged wire wheel nuts: What can I say? The British sports car version of BLING!
I should have pics of everything soon, once I have time to install the rest the interior and clean everything up.
Have a great weekend everyone!
