Vehicle Detail

Selling my TR7 to keep my wife happy. I got the car a few years ago and have spent many hours and way too much money on it. It has a new top that was installed by a local upholstery shop. New recovered seats in a more modern pattern, also done by the same shop.The car had been sitting for a few years before I got it, so it needed everything. I replaced the brakes ( shoes,resurfaced drums,pads, rotors,and wheel cylinders). When I rebuilt the original carbs, they were seized. I decided to go with the weber conversion. It starts right up cold but is a little fussy when hot. I have not tuned them or tried to resolve this issue. I'm sure it's just some adjustment. Once running it needed exhaust. I put on a Mona cat back system. After I felt I could drive it, I found it needed tires, so on went four new tires. After the tires it needed some suspension work. It got front springs and struts along with the strut bellows. Rear shocks are also new. New windshield and wipers The gas tank started to leak so I bought a brand new tan ( not a reconditioned )New carpet and some plain black door panels. Other miscellaneous parts: thermostat,clutch fan,clutch master and slave cylinders,LED lighting in a few areas, new spark plugs, all fluids changed. It does need a few finishing touches, hood latch needs to be installed and adjusted. The paint on the hood has a small spot that's not quite perfect. Nothing horrible but is noticeable. The muffler needs the rubber hangers. The front crank seal is leaking slightly. I have the new seal but never got around to replacing it. Clock does not work. It's not a show car but decent for a 30 year old car.
