Looking great!!! God job!

Spent the last two days rebuilding the 2000. Hand polished every chrome detail before fitting and re-wired all the lights with proper connectors. I've come as far as I can now before the parts return from the galvanizing and powdercoaters. Hopefully not long now [emoji1374]

Finally received the last of the parts from the galvanizing shop this week so any spare time I've had I've used it to get the triumph back together.
Began by rebuilding the calipers which came out really nicely.


After having all the separate parts zinc coated I also rebuilt the steering rack with a 7 tooth pinion gear to make it a 'quick rack


Whilst all the front end has been out I fitted the 6-3-2 manifold and hi-torque starter motor, was really nice with all the extra space.


Got into the workshop early this morning and began putting it all together


And she's now back on all fours! Really hope the suspension settles down and sinks a little as I'm pretty disappointed with the ride height. I'll give it a chance before taking action though. One more weekend of work and I should be back on the road! [emoji322][emoji324]

P.s. Ignore the off centre number plate, just tried it out

I saw that you work at Aston Hill, looks like a cool place.

Vilket fantastiskt jobb du lägger ner, jag hoppas jag får se den i verkligheten någon gång nästa sommar. Är verkligen avundsjuk att du har en billyft, tänk vad mycket enklare det blir att jobba undertill.

I do, not sure where you're based but if you're ever in the area feel free to swing by and have a peek in [emoji1360]

Thanks Lars, I'll try to make a couple of meets before the summer is over. Not sure where you're based either, but if not this year then you'll likely see it next summer [emoji1360][emoji4]
Yep, everything is made much easier by having a lift! Repairing and restoring old cars is also my day job so we have a fully equipped workshop with all the tools and equipment necessary to get the job done. Which I also guess is a huge advantage [emoji6]

Premier test drive today [emoji1373] Slight vibration from the rear end and came home with a leaking brake master cylinder. 2 minor faults = quite ok
All in all I'm pretty pleased with everything [emoji1360]
