Day 3 Work
I've slowly been accumulating parts for the renovation of the car and trying to save dough where I could. Talking to people in the biz and poking around on Craigslist.org have been two great resources. I've gotten some great contacts from a fellow I've known for years who is a mechanic in Marin and will throw some links up with his recommendations shortly. One of my great finds was a convertible top for the Spit sitting in some fellow's storage unit. The only downside was a small tear in the vinyl window...but for the $63 that I negotiated him down to - it was a no brainer.
The very same mechanic also had a pair of Miata seats laying around that I had been searching for and I was able to pick the set up for $80. I've seen a couple of write-ups on installing these in the Triumph and I look forward to having nicer seats than what were provided.
