Roger,
Judging by the amount of filler in the front valance this is not the first incident that this vehicle has been through !
Hey you can buy a new valance at Moss Motors (USA)for about $ 140.00 (US) Part # 855-100
Looks like someone spent almost that in "Bondo".
(I still love that 1st photo ).
Cheers,
Ken

Ken, interesting as the " new " bonnet for the TR was from a wreckers yard Foreign Parts West in Eugene Oregon, shipped back to NZ in 1982, and even more interesting is when I sold the car [ in 1985 to help buy a house ] was to a Charles Matschek, an American living in NZ who went to University in Oregon and knew of the wrecking yard, it had a Jaguar XK 120 body as a sign on the roof, imagine that now, what would it be worth.Originally Posted by khyndart in CA
Must post some photos' from the wrecking yards we saw in this thread, we visited quite a few that summer
Ken,
Have had a problem changing my Avatar, and now settled on me in the TR, at Pukekohe, not on that hill.
Did you get the Hill photo in the Moss Motors mag ?? ,
and to your other comment Bondo.. lots, did you notice the curves over the headlights on the bonnet.. the car had been been pranged before, but, mechanicals were great, plus buying it from Russ Abbott, and joining the Auckland branch of the Triumph Club [ then the NZ TR Register ], gave me lots of help. had and oil pipe break on a Hill climb and Russ put a blanking plate on the sender to the gauge so I could continue to run. Mates Ehh!!
something different, don't we love Carbies !!
