TR7, oh dear :)

Much as I love the TR7 here's another disaster. That wing is awful!

the bits are getting more exotic so I can be mildly excited
What sort of bits?I remember somewhere having a brand new rear lens for one,will never use it,but couldn`t bring myself to throw it away either.
It was meant for a yellow grinnal I had a few years ago, 3.9 RV8 it was plainly mental!
unfortunately it ended up needing more than the rear lens,as my gf at the time used it to push 9 reinforced concrete fence posts over!
She panicked and floored it according to my sister who was her passenger.
I eventually sold the remains to one of the coppers who turned up.
Always missed that car.
^ It's a soft top car, wide sills, wide rear arches. 10 x 17 rears with 300mm rubber. Hella round back lights, rear wing and full width intercooler underneath. Front end has rover struts, custom hubs (tr7 pcd) and evo front brakes. Adjustable platforms and coil overs all round. Rear axle located by 'A' frame, 2.84 ratio, lsd etc but have an 8.8" with rear discs to fit one day. Engine bay, subframe etc has been configured for chevy ls7 and t56 box but I think I'm going to fit an auto. This depends on if the t56 can suffer turbo abuse. That said, it'll be a good while before I drive this car again! It's a shed at the moment. I've got most of the engine stuff, darton block, ls7 crank and all the external ancilliaries, turbo headers etc but other things are more important so the pistons and heads will have to wait. It should be running next year though
I know the car in question, it's owned by a load of pikies who own a bistro/restaurant converted out of an old little chef!! Yes it still looks like a little chef lol. Just like the tr7 looks like a tr7 but worse. Trust me if you thing the 7 is bad it looks ten times worse in the flesh, and I would wager will be on it's last legs if their selling it.
