    Have picked up some adjustable coilover suspension.

    One of the things that I really didn't like with the Spider was the stance. I checked everything against my TR Coupe and everything looked and measured the same. I suspect with all the extra steel tubing added to the mid section of the car for strengthening the car now rides higher at the front.

    Plan is to install the coilovers and drop the car to give is a much lower and meaner stance on the road.

    was lucky enough to see the only real factory Tr Spider at an event this summer. Very handy to see it in the flesh, have a good look around it and take plenty of pictures

    Scott, congratulations on your progress thus far. Thank you for sharing. Any idea what color you're leaning towards now? Red, black, white? Good luck-

    Love these threads...good on you.

    I know not directly related, but can I just ask what tiles you have on your garage floor and what threshold you used at the entrance?
