Hello 2005

As suggested by Mr Tim Bancroft, I have offered to send in a few tit bits from this fair and pleasant land on the affairs of all things Triumphy in Western Australia.

Well it's Monday morning and I'm back at work at the gold mine after a busy weekend putting together the wifes 1973 2000 saloon. As is the Thompson way nothing is particularly standard but most bit were at least Stanpart. After a very hectic Christmas holiday the car is now capable of reaching the local chippy and boozer under it's own power. Just need to fit the Aircon and finishthe running in now so that Del is pacified and I can get back to uprating the suspension and brakes on the Mk1 competition car.

A brief spec list for the previously unadulterated 2000 are as follows:
Rebuilt Mk1 PI bottom end including x-drilled crank + 40".
Early PI camshaft
Flowed and ported 2500S Head 38mm Datsun inlet valves 9:1 compression
Sprint HS6's BFZ needles
Witor 6-3-1 Extractors
BW 65 Auto box
Reduction starter

Hoping for a bit more urge than the Ozzie spec emission strangled 2500S engine that we used to have. Sounds absolutely great.
