Nice work! Pretty welds.
 
The car is set up for the Targa Newfoundland Rally and other Rally organizations. I also want to do road race schools/track sessions but no competition since the TR8 in general gets hammered when it get classified.
 
It is a real TR8 coupe. #20 of 158 for 1980. This is how the car started off.......a 95% original coupe with 1 respray and never been apart or in the rain with 92,000 miles. I have owned this car since 1998 and when 2nd gear dropped out of the tranny in 2001 it was time for a transmission.
