Time in Garage: 1-1/2 hours
Planning and E-mailing: 1-1/2 hors
Purchase of Parts: 1959 : New reservoir and connecting pipes (around $150 Cdn)
Purchase of Parts: 1957 Chassis $650
Yesterday I ventured out into the garage for another round of garage clean up and reorganization. The space looks much better and I found my engine hoist chain that I couldn't locate last weekend.
I decided to purchase a damaged chassis to harvest the rear end and front suspension parts to get the 1957 Triumph back into a rolling chassis basis. I gave instructions on how I want it cut up so I can load it into the back of my Ranger truck. I have sat on the fence about this purchase for a number of months and I realized that the '57 is not going anywhere until I take some time to make it sellable. It is a bit of a gamble but the upside is definitely there. Spending money to make money. I also ordered a suspension kit and new ball joints. I am hoping the salvaged chassis has front end parts that are in good condition. My initial investigation shows this as being the case. The next part of the puzzle is to make sure I don't spend too much time on the reassembly. More to follow on this.
