yeah you can give it a go. gotta treat the gearbox gentle at the moment, no synchro's. got enough torque to lug your ass around
 mini is a go as well, bleed the brakes next weekend then buy tires.

car is running great. still get "what is it" questions from everybody, one guy asked if i'd put my AC cobra through the wash.
engine pic taken last night by the guys. also bonus shot when testing the car as a photography car, this was taken straight out the back - matyi loved the 360 degree field of vision. will definately try to take daytime rolling shots with it later.

Really sweet Spitfire, love the mods... good on ya Clutch! Killer engine and the best thing about one of these over a TR6 is the whole thing is displayed when the hood is lifted.

Looks stunning. Engine looks very tidy also.
You should check out this wheeler dealers episode where they do up a Spitfire 1500...

BONUS ROUND
grabbed these because putting the car up on jacks is a pain in the ass. of course using these turned out to be terrifying, but whatever.  unibody? what unibody. wtf unibody, we don't want your unibody shit here. rail girders with fibreglass boats screwed into the top of it are fine, maaaaate.  sitting in my engine bay, topping up my oil.

nice clutch
 I'd thought about these too as "cheap ramps" for home use too. So what about the "terrifying" comment then , huh ? Do they move when you're up there ? Or was it just getting on them ??

easing the car up it is a bit nerve wracking at first but the main thing is when they tilt forward - it feels like they are going to pitch you through the back of the garage LOL.
also they shifted a foot backwards before i could get the rear wheels on them which wasn't fun. i have a few solutions in mind as they are really handy. i don't think they will stay in the garage but rather be set somewhere outside, downslope this time so you drive onto them not up them so much.
