I will try and get some detailed photos, but if you look very closely at the picture you will see that it doesnt get used a lot and now that Spring is officially here it will get used even less !

I can maybe clean it up at the weekend and put it on the car.
My car SHOULD be Triton Green according to the paint code but is has been resprayed this sort of BRG. I am used to it now but I still have occasions when I want to put it back to Triton.

It was sprayed by the PO when he inherited the car from the original purchaser who imported the car to South Africa from the UK in 1981.

As a point of interest (maybe) TR7s were also built in South Africa, in BLs factory at Blackheath outside Cape Town.

The seats are from an 1988 Pontiac Fiero.
The older models had speakers ,this one did not
I made the wholes and wired them,Placed Infinity speakers.
Bought the Upholstery from a Guy who specializes in FIero seats
Re-paded ,and installed it.
The TR had to be welded to accept the new base and wheels.
Does It sound Good?????
I don't know yet???
I am in the sanding and priming stage.
I believe ,it will sound great.[^]

Guys don't be afraid to call any British shops that specialize in MBG's I was driving down the back alley one day behind such a shop and saw a stack of hard tops that were higher than the building. I dropped in and asked if one of them might fit a TR7, the owner told me to drop by the next day. So I did and there it was sitting in the shop, I thought for sure he'd want $100+ but he's like "7's aren't that popular how's $50 sound?" Lucky for me I had change lol Don't get me wrong it needs some work, but I do have a buddy that does fiberglass work and I may get him to make another one for me. Here's some pics....
