Z320 Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 (edited) "It is being sold as part of a driveway clearance for a family member." Hi, I'm sad and with the previous owner. What was his dream and hope with the car? Is he still with us but unable even to start the project? What is with my projects (plural) and how will they end. Sorry me for this thought....

michaeldavis39 Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 Looks lovely with lots of potential- great project for someone with lots of welding experience. Looks like it may have been a getaway car at some point in its past - 3 bullet holes in the passenger door lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AJ2014 Posted February 16 Author Report Share Posted February 16 So I wonder was there a complete engine and gearbox under that bonnet?And what caused the car to be laid up for so long… How could a frozen bonnet release mechanism be freed after 25 years of inactivity on a TR5? A genuine question.. Ade Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tom Fremont Posted February 16 Report Share Posted February 16 Due to !@#$ repro release cables which suck themselves into the vinyl cover when tugged hard I had to find a way to do it at a show 150 miles away: (LHD) Remove the glove box Pull out the rubber grommet for the choke and heater cables With an assistant pressing down on the bonnet proximate to the latch, trip the latch with a long screwdriver from the inside through the grommet hole Do tell if this wouldn't work on RHD and why Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Obviously in the case of the advertised car that last prblem is unlikely. I would say biggest problem would be seized bonnet hinges hence my above suggestions. We have discussed the stuck bonnet scenario on here quite a lot of times previously. Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
