@Leroy Peterson, can you give us some more info? Where did you find this? it looks to be in amazing condition. 
Are you into English cars or did this just peak your interest this time? I'd love to hear the background to this.

Leroy! My god! That's gonna hurt... I hope you are good with electrics! did you get a warranty? (jk).

I bet he's shopping for that warranty before attempting to do anything to it :P

I've decided to keep track of the build here: http://www.zeitakuvip.com/forum/member-s-rides/non-vip-builds/22023-triumph-tr7

After the whole Photobucket fiasco, i dont really want to be posting on multiple forums again... except some odd updates on the pulsar on SAU. All the detail is on PGA.

Everyone carrying on about rust has me real worried about the car. like how do you wash a car that rusts easily? cant use water lol. It also will be sitting outside for a week or two which has me concerned... ill buy a cover for it I think

Thanks for putting that link up. I'll be lurking in the background (like always!).

Yeah dolomite sprint. Think it needs a lot of work. Might have been a parts car.

Doesn't look too rusty on the surface.

Once you dig deeper...

I'm tempted to look at it haha

Whoa, I'm seeing double! 

Haha, one is silver, one is white. Also one is knackered (gearbox issues) and one is in mint condition...

Gearbox issues, is it under warranty? 

Silver one is knackered. It has just become my daily, i've had it for two years and it has served me well so far. It's certainly not under any kind of warranty.
The gearbox had a it of a meltdown about 3 or 4 months ago and was flaring and carrying on. I ignored it (like you do) and then finally at the service mentioned it was "a bit rough". They recommended a new gearbox for 10k. I declined and we looked at the new models, but none of them were my thing. In the end, we came back to the same model, only this one has been well kept, well serviced and has every conceivable option these things came with. 
If the gearbox does go, it will be a project for my friends and I to change it over and see if we can reprogram the car. Surprisingly it has been very well behaved since the initial problems, but i'm pretty much expecting it to stop moving the back wheels at any stage now. When it does, bring on the spanners... :)

    • Ok gotcha, so one post to fpr  another to bov  and I have the mishimoto boost controller and a link g4+ so I’d just have the tuner set it up properly. For the last two from plenum post throttle to  ecu/ boost controller, I know that I have a hose coming from the ecu that I was confused about so I assume that’s what connect to the boost controller from the ecu? And then the last is just from plenum to boost controller then to wastegate?
    • From there, it was just a quick electrical check, prime the oil and start her up Which, is not what happened. 1. Bloody seppo Aeropro battery holder. Not only was it too tall for the battery (which I'll forgive them for, I have another battery the same nominal size that is taller than Neil's one, but the bracket is a fixed height so the battery was spaced up) But the thing that really shits me is the hardware to hold it on requires a 7/32 Hex key. WTF. No-one will ever be able to remove or install the damn thing without a hex key they don't own 2. Kill switch no longer worked once the console was installed. Neil mentioned above he had to adjust the length but it no longer cleared the console once installed. Sorted. 3. Suspiciously, the brake light holders were hanging in the boot with no globes. Sure enough the stopper on the brake pedal was missing so they are always on unless the kill switch is activated. Will pick one up tomorrow (turns out 32 and 33 don't use the same stopper) 4. All that sorted, I turned on the kill switch, turned the key to ACC. Nothing. Turned it to IGN. Nothing. Checked some fuses and found the main IGN in the boot was missing which improved things once it was replaced. Now ECU and dash lights turn on with IGN but still no fuel pump. 5. Turned it to Start....ECU on, no fuel pump, no starter. Plus the voltage dropped straight to 9v.  I suspect the starter is f**ked but am going to have to work through it all and see what is happening, really looks like more than one issue. Does anyone have the R33 fuse box key with the circuit it sources from (eg BAT, ACC, IGN, SRT etc) and supplies? I can find a translated list showing Amps and circuit without supply circuit, and I can find supply circuit without Amps and target circuit.
    • 3rd time lucky, the AAC is now all plumbed up after getting some final fittings All set up under the plenum of maximum access
    • OK, so the weight has been bugging because it was really low. I did it again today and got a more believable answer at 1246 without driver And with a 93kg driver I'm pretty sure the car was still slightly on the quickjack last time meaning the full weight was not on the scales
