PLEASE NOTE : RE-LISTING DUE TO NON SALE; RESERVE AND STARTING BID LOWERED 10/01/2014 Rust free 1979 Triumph Spitfire. I am second owner. First owner spent considerable time and money on mechanicals (engine and compartment) and electricals. I had the body taken down to bare metal; fixed every little ding; removed all rust (inside and out); added Rustmort; painted w epoxy based primer; skim coat of bond to make her real straight; sanded down smooth after two guide coats; removed all glass and replaced after paint w new gaskets; painted brilliant red (stock color) w several coats of clear; wet sanded w 2000 grit; orange peel knocked down; buffed and polished; very good finish ! Did the same to factory metal top; completely redone. Interior redone: rotted wood dash pieces replaced; new switches that work for electricals (prior owner totally rewired car); houndstooth beige seat covers and new foam installed; new visors and dash overlay; new door panels in beige, rear cockpit and wheel arch panels in beige installed; black carpet mats; complete trunk panel kit. Brakes totally redone. Many other new parts with receipts. Car was converted to earlier small bumpers (massive rubber bumpers removed); chrome blacked out in satin paint. Fog lamps added inside front bumper. Wheels redone in nice matching color; wears good tires. Car slightly "raked" forward so steers great ( redone front coil overs) has perfect stance. Receipts and CD w pics of build available to successful bidder. This is an exceptional Spitfire that needs very little; great paint; solid mechanicals; a very fun car to drive ! No warranty implied or offered; this is a used car that you will be buying as is. Very nice British Classic. Please Note: ReSmogged on 9/17/2014: car passed; cert to new owner. Car also passed California Smog on 2/3/14 and is currently registered in CA. Driven 48 miles between smogs !
