Thank you for the warm welcome, guys.
Rick, I’d be happy to post pics of my old T/A…but I fear that the images may offend certain viewers. In SA, it’s rare to find a T/A that still has its original motor and that hasn’t been resprayed 4 to 5 times (4 to 5 different colours btw). Mine had seats from a Volkswagen in it. Needless to say she was in pretty bad shape. I had grand dreams of restoring her to her former glory. But with so many original parts missing, my mission was doomed from the very beginning. Next time I’ll start with a far more original car.
She sounded pretty awesome though. The previous owner had relieved her of all forms of silencing equipment. She was pretty dang loud. I recall blasting it past the local pub once. Can still remember hear the sound of men cheering as I flew past in my T/A. In a world filled with fuel efficient Euro-boxes, nothing sounds better than someone punching it in a big American V8.
