YOu could see my old posts too-- burnt/smokin' light switch on one occasion, melted wires from dash to turn signal light on another.

See the "smoke" thread from a few months ago. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/yesnod.gif It's part of the "charm"

As a follow for those who remember this thread, about 6 months later I sold the TR250 project and bought a running TR4A. Getting on the road took precedance over the value of the vehicle.

The 4A doesn't wind out nearly as smoothly as the 6 cyl. Still, this car offers all of the same charms as the TR5 I drove, except for the more powerful engine. (the interior view is nicer, the chrome gauges are much classier)

I have been driving my car since August, and loved every second of it. This is completely addictive and total therapy. It requires so much concentration driving that you forget about everything else. Right now, I have the battery out and it is hibernating for the winter, I miss it dearly. I need a shot of that smoke and oil.
 
Congrats on the new toy, Good luck with it.
