Bought the Spitfire on the condition that papers can be found. Otherwise no sale.

A friend I had years back had ‘Triumph TR6’ convertible.
Fun cars to drive. Probably why I got the 1983 RX7.
(No wife or kids back then)

Shiny new muffler!
No exhaust leaks now. Happy days.

That doesn’t look like a Cherry Bomb what are you thinking!

I took the old exhaust (super rusty with not one but two cherry bombs to the metal recycler.

Next steps are to sort out why the signal lights are not working and then get ready to pull the engine and trans.

You do realize you have to move the signal light lever on the steering column to get the lights to work right? And since it's an old British car maybe they need a positive grounding lecture on how to behave.

Picked up the Laycock overdrive transmission today. Using a freight forwarder saved me $350USD. Only paid GST and PST, no duties or tarrifs. Well worth the trip to the airport for pick up.

So will this just bolt right up or do you have to shorten the driveshaft?
