78 Triumph Spitfire 1500. 53 horses of neck-snapping power! It's like driving a go-kart on the street. Guaranteed to put a smile on your face.

I haven't been able to work on it for 2 years since I went on workers comp. Right after I graduated from college I hurt my back (5 herniated discs). Spent 3 years and 18 grand taking the car completely apart and putting it back together. All the work was done by me and a buddy and it still sits in his barn. His mother is cool with it and understands the situation. I just closed my case so I have some money to finish it up. I'm afraid I'm going to have to have the body shop finish the rest up for me though, or at least most of it anyways.

RICLARK, I'm doing OK now; some days are better than others. Doctors were unable to operate because of the location of the discs so I'm stuck living with it and having to try to rehab my back with physical therapy. Hopefully it'll work and I'll be able to live a somewhat normal life in a year. It hasn't stopped me from brewing, though I am kind of hurting from brewing and bottling this week. I usually brew with one of my friends so they can do all my lifting for me.
Cheeto1977, Thanks, yep that's a SHO (Super High Output) with a Yamaha engine. It's a V6 not the V8, but the 6 is a far superior motor. Even without all those mods, the V6's with a manual transmission would blow the doors of the V8 SHO's. The V8 didn't come out until the Generation III SHO's in 1996.
