One is a 76 with the paint stripped and some surface rust. The only bad spot was around the gas filler panel, which the owner had dome bondo work on. The rest of the car's body was great, the panels at the trailing arms were solid. The downside is that he has dripped a pontiac V6 w/auto and has cut the tranny hump to get the auto to fit. He says he didn't cut the origiinal mounts, but made new mounts that bolt to the original ones and it looked that way to me.
The other car is a complete 77 parts car, which ran until 4 years ago (don't know why it doesn't run now) with a 4speed with a fair amount of bondo in the panels. Of course the engine will need a rebuild of seom extend, maybe complete.
Are TR7 engine any more difficult/expenisve to rebuild than other lbc four bangers, like a Spitfire 1500 or a B-engine?
For the two he is asking $700 (he's into restoring a house so no time for the TRs). This would be my me and myson's winter project (probably a bit longer...). I've tried to convince him if a less of a project but he wants one that needs all aspects touched on. At least this noe really needs minimal body work, the biggest hassel is getting rid of the V6.
Does this sound like a fun father/son project? At least I can leave them where thay are until July, by that time my Spitfire will be in paint and partly reassembled.
