I've been a tad bored today, so I was thinking (ok, warming my skull rather than actually cogitating).
I've been doing a few bits to my car, and I was trying to decide when it stops being a Triumph, and becomes a 'rod'.
I'm trying to figure out - for my own satisfaction mainly - whether the changes are cumulative (so each one makes it less of a Triumph), or if there is one single thing that would take it over the edge.
For my own self, I think that as long as the bodywork, chassis and engine block stay roughly original then I still have a Triumph. If I swap any of these then I don't.
I think I'm ok with swapping the gearbox, the diff and most of the rest of the running gear. I'm actually more bothered by changing the brakes out for Toyota ones.
I'm still wondering about the inside of the car. The dash seems particularly Triumph somehow, and I'm not sure about if the seats (uncomfortable as they are) go if it changes it.
Anyone else have thought on this? Like I said I was a bit bored, so I'd welcome opinions.
