Loving this! I’m a TR7/8 nut! I’ve owned 3, but only the 2ltr versions! I’m in London, where are you guys located? Looking forward to following you series on this! I’ll spread the word!

Hey Daniel - thank you so much for the kind comments. We originally had a 2ltr version, but it met a nasty end on an icy Autoroute in Belgium,. That car originally belonged to my father - he and I had worked on the car together. He died the year before I had the crash. When I rebuilt the car, I went all in, took out a big loan, and had the car rebuilt exactly as Dad might have wanted it to be if we had had the means, even down to the MacLeod tartan seats! So, it means a lot that, thirty years later, my son and I are fixing her up again. We lived around London for many years - the last years all just outside the M25. My son, Eddie, was born in Redhill - but these days, we're just outside Austin, in Texas. Of course, we had to have the car shipped over. It gets some funny looks over here - nobody expects the driver to be on the right!

What an amazing story! And what a journey! Deserves the love you’re giving it! I’m from just inside the M25, Enfield. Londoners do seem to place themselves by their vicinity to the M25… legend says there are people outside the M25, but I’ve seen no proof! 😂 I’ll be visiting the U.S later this year, so if you see a motorbike creeping by and the rider using binoculars… don’t worry, it’s just TR7 envy! Did you ever think of adding the TR8 decal on the back? Or some of the V8 badges to the front fenders maybe? Best of luck with all the upcoming works, such a great father son project! I lost my dad back in the 90’s and we had planned to do a Knight Rider build! Previous time to spend doing great things!

I’ll be visiting my younger brother in Lansing, Michigan. Hopefully doing a bit of a tour of the country whilst I’m there. Planning on walking the PCT in 2025!

Can you remove the tires on the lift?

Yes, you can. We''ve since raised the car a bit further using taller rubber blocks and used the lift to remove wheels, suspension and brakes front and rear.
