Triumphant Return of the Triumph?
By Nick | July 20, 2008
After driving my Uncle’s Porsche convertible kit car for the past several weeks and hooking back up with an old friend that has a Triumph TR4 like me, I have decided that it is time to get my car back on the road. I have decided this many times in the past and have come head to head with my laziness, so hopefully this time I will be “triumphant”. No pun intended.
Over the years I have accumulated and installed tons of new parts on the car. Its verging on being completely new. An amazing feat in itself considering the car is a 1965 year model. It has a rebuilt engine with less than 100 miles on it, a rebuild rear end, a new exhaust system, a new wiring harness, new radiator, an alternator conversion, cooling system upgrade, yadda, yadda, yadda. All I lack now to actually get it on the road is a little hard work. It needs a bunch of body work and a new paint job, so it will look ugly on the outside for a while, but right now I am not concerned with that in the least. I want to drive the sucker. I had a blast driving it in high school.
