Ahhh...it'
a sad end for a TR.. As I said elsewhere, the car is
now laid up in a chicken shed waiting for a new dawn.
Its engine is still lively but the chassis is way past
it's best...paying teh price for 4 years living by the
sea??
However, it's a good
lesson in corrosion for everbody...all the "normal"
faults have returned. These are not repaired areas, but
indications that if you take teh same parts that Triumph
used and assemble them in the same way...then the same
problems occur. Makes me think carefully about the value
of originality..
Look at a modern car and apart from vastly improved
design there are 2 important features: Seam sealer protects
everything and plastic wheelarch liners are standard...2
lessons i will try to take to heart when KKG 404 E rises
again.....
