TR4 Progress Page 3
As you can see here I've installed the upper and lower valances. The lower valance
is one that I purchased from TRF. It happened to have a tag labeled "Taiwan" on it. The fit
wasn't perfect but I did manage to get it installed and looking halfway reasonable. Definitely
looked nicer than the beat up one that was in the car. Also notice that I did a trial fit of the
radiator with the crank handle in place to make sure of my clearances. So far no problems.
This is a picture of one of my two backup lights that I'll be installing on the car. If you've
seen Bill Piggotts latest book that covers the TR4's thru TR6's then you'll find a picture
of this light installed on page 8. These lights mount below the bumper just to the outside
of the bumper overriders. These lights were lost in the USPS system for about a week. Had
quite a thrill trying to locate them at the post office.
The left front suspension is still lacking the coil spring. I ended up buying replacement
front coil springs from Moss because they were the only supplier that carried the correct size
spring.
The right front suspension assembly is just about complete. Just connect the tire rod end
to the pivot arm.
I've got the rear differential primer coated with Bill Hirschs "Miracle Paint". Next comes
a coating of his "Chassis Black" paint. I used the same paint on the frame and am quite
happy with it.
