picked up a spider to part out

[tr8todd]

A couple of days ago a truck pulled into my driveway. The driver got out and asked me if I wanted another of those POS cars as he glanced over at two of my nicer TR8s. Even thou I was very offended, I kept my composure long enough to pick up a TR7 spider for slightly more than the scrap value of the car. There really isn't much I want from this thing other than the hoard of new rubber parts in the trunk, the newish alternator, master cylinder and the freshly recored rad. A local guy wants the stainless exhaust and the wheels. Anybody need anything before I haul it out of here? The body is rusted and the interior is trashed. I was told it runs, but I'm not going to bother trying to get it running. It has a clean title and spider VIN (wink-wink).

I don't suppose it's the California model with fuel injection? If FI, I would be interested in that.

No' it's carbed. FI TR7s are very rare around here.

What do the seats look like?

The PO replaced the seats with stock black ones from a coupe. The passenger side is pretty good. The drivers side has a split at the shoulder. All in all, the interior is trashed. Carpet is a mess, door panels are wavy, shifter boot is falling apart, visors are falling apart, and the steering wheel needs to be redone. Has a black canvas top that is in very good shape. I think I'll save that for the next time I need one. There were new in the package black knee bolsters, pedal pads, door lights, and door window scrapers in the trunk. Good thing, as I need a pair of scrapers for one of my 8s.
