Well I posted up in the welcome section, but since I'm trying to get my tr2 back on the road I'm here now.
So I've got lots of questions but I'll ask as they come up instead of all at once, some seem to answer themself as time goes on. But first, since my car is going into the body shop, hopefully end of the month, and the shop wants the eng/trans out of it, can I pull them as a unit or do I have to separate them? He also wants the wiring removed, and as the wiring is original to the car, I want to replace the harness with a new one. Who makes a cost effective and complete harness that is easy to use and install? I don't want original, as I'm gonna make this car a driver, I want reliable. I will be doing an alt upgrade when the time comes. So originality is not a huge concern but I would like it to look good and possibly correct.
A bit about the car, I've owned it now for 8 years or so maybe 9, never driven it! It is a very rough car and was stored outside by the PO so the cancer got to it. I've made it run, and have been collecting parts to get it back on the road. The deal came up that I couldn't pass up so it's getting done a bit faster then I thought. Had to finish the house first before I could do the car.
The eng and trans will come with me to work so I can do a quick rebuild over the winter, and hopefully be back in the car this spring/summer. Lots of work ahead for me but I'm looking forward to it.
Ill try and get some pics up as the car sits now, and as I go along.
