Further progress has been made although a little bit behind schedule, the carpet has been removed which appears to have been normal household carpet
This is what happened to it after being removed
seats were also removed and probably wont go back in as they’re not looking to great, especially the drivers seat
after the carpet was removed from the boot I discovered that the spare wheel well had been covered over in a bodged way and wires were a bit all over the place, with some no longer connected
more discoveries were made, such as this rust hole underneath where the previous owner had stuck union flag sticker on the boot
and then there was these footwell lights
including: !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! (not sure how to get the imgur video to embed)
and finally the v8 is in the engine bay ready to be wired up and should be fired up within a day or 2 if all goes well
offenhouser 360 manifold and some edelbrock 4 barrel carb, needs a good clean too

J ust using bits from another v8 converted tr7 that I was supposed to be having but it’s still in a much worse state (still probably 6+ months before it’s ready) so found this one in better condition and transplanting the v8 and required bits into it
T he other tr7 may end up with an AJ30 v6 at some point in the future

Oh, I see!
Interesting choice for the second one. Is it a usual conversion nowadays?
Best of luck, in any case

yeah it’s becoming very popular, it’s found in jag s types (as a slightly less powerful and smaller in the mondeo/x type) the AJ30 is the engine rocketeer use for their v6 mx5 conversions
