Silver7's Weblog

My first blog !

Well here we go , had to get started on this one day eh !

So far summer has been great, though a tad difficult soemtimes with a wife,juggling three kids and a LBC!

The little TR has once again been running good, I think I've clocked about 2k this year, and will prolly be able to keep her on the road till October, since there are no new borns to deal with this year....
I'm still hoping to solidify the suspension a tad more, as unfortunately the new shocks I put on two years ago seem to be going stray allready, and I think a call to TSImported will tighten things up. I'm planning a complete re-dub allong the lines of KYB's,strud needle bearing kit and some lower springs...since I really can't stand the look of my car in the clouds with the factory height my car now has since installing the springs with new OEM units last year.
Still debating the seat recovering too, might actually have a new plan in place shortly on this issue soon.

On another note, I've managed to do the two biggest shows in the area,this year and have seen and met a good number of nice new wedges !

Pictures of the events can been seen here;

The next event on my Wedge calender will be at the beginning of September , at a local pub here in Rockburn,Quebec. It will be a multi Brit show, and hopefully a very good time. Pics and maybe a little write up will follow!!

Lastly I am please to announce the addition of yet another new family member to the Silver7 household, though this one is not what some may be thinking hehehehehe ............

As this newbee has a Tin Roof !!!!!!

Admitantly the Wedge will need some work, and is not really roadworthy yet....but over the winter should be completed for a spring time debut!
I've have been casually looking for something else, and this little 78 came allong and was rather impulsively added to the stable with out many questions asked.
She should be in transport this week, and hopefully a photoshoot close to home should happen before summer ends.

Cheers ,
Ron
