Well im back to work now all be it on a 3 day (short day) week as still need to go back into hospital again on 24th for some final finishing.
Forgot how bloody cold that workshop can get even with a heater blasting.
First job was a nice GT6 head change as head gasket had blown after a garage had fitted a new radiator and water pump and overheated the poor thing so an unleaded head was fitted too as customer had been given one.So all in all a positive return and looking forward to a very busy 2009 in work and play..So glad im still very much into my old Triumphs its surprising how much i missed those rusty old wrecks or rather those lovely classics.

Here we go ..

Well the 2008 Triumph season has started with last weeks Stoneleigh show,this show is still the best by far especially with sunshine this year, cant remember the last time it was sunny an ive been going for 12 years now. Was nice to take my coupe out for the day too even with ts poorly engine, nearly never made it up the last hill to the show as took 2 big ish mates and 8 wheels id sold on eBay, the wheels not my mates!!car of show for me was this beauty....would love one of these one day, know any projects for sale ???
I finally parted with my 1600 Vitesse works look alike last week too as i do have too many cars around at present, two on eBay, she was sold to Jonny Jimbo Club Triumph guy whos been hastling me for it for ages so as shes been sat outside my garage sinc last march i decided to let her go keeping the engine from it for my GT6 RS . A smokey old 2ltr was installed and off she went as if looking for a fight again..

Nice Spit4

Collected a lovely Spitfire 4 this week from a "gone to ground" triumph specialist. This beauty had been left for dead by the pevious restorer who had moved on. We had been asked to find her after collecting another triumph for another customer a few months back for the same reason, still back home now in Coventry for the restoration work they rightly deserve.

YOUTUBE VITESSE

Brummie daves vitesse eventually made its debut run round he industrial estate this week after a long wait. Poor thing started out as a lovely original 1600 saloon but 8 months in the KD workshop took its toll as a 2.6 tuned engine now sits where the wheezy 1600 once lived, type 12 brakes now junked replaced by vented capri items with fully adjustable suspension all round ,j type uprated box , nice revolution's with Yokohama's..hmm . check her out on youtube just put "brummie daves vitesse" in.enjoy..
well done brummie (big) dave , nice job.
