Tricky's TR7 progress??

Post by mgbv8 »

I was at Tricky's workshop today grinding away lots of metal and welding patches on to get the Sebring wings fitted.

Tricky was busy as well. As you can see from the pic the TR7 is coming along nicely....... NOT ! :)

You can just see Tricky's legs under the Range Rover on the ramp.
While I was making progress on the B by using his all gear and drinking his coffee, he was muttering about having to do a tranny swap and having to earn a living etc etc...Grumpy old Git:)

Perry,

Nice one with the sebring arches, look forward to some interesting reports on your progress towards the magic 9's

I think once you get below 11 seconds it does get a bit more hairy and from your comments on your first 2010 runs albeit on a very green track that hasn't seen action since last year, i can appreciate that you needed a bit of car control to say the least.

Hoping I can make to the Pod this year for at least your MG day.

Regards,

Kevin
