Torque City Garage

Moving Parts, fitting parts, having a good time at Torque City!

1964 Triumph Spitfire Project. We’re moving slowly but we’re moving! Thanks Ron Jernigan for the grilles. Douglas Hanson will be over to weld and work some magic soon!

1964 Spitfire Project Weeks 4-6. Wow things take longer than you think when you break things and parts are back ordered! Thanks to Frank and Jeff I moved this project along. With Jeff’s help we actually got the car to run for a little. Considering how bad the points were I’m still shocked!

1964 Spitfire Project Week 3: It takes a village! Mike Hopkins removed the water pump housing bolts with a torch and Sprig’s 1792 Full Proof Barrel Pick! The calipers are rebuilt, the radiator is certified by Sims in Tucker, and the fan is ready for installation!

1964 Spitfire Project Week 2: The front right caliper is UGLY. Fortunately, Mike Hopkins has four NIB pistons. The compression test showed 90/90/90/90 so at least it’s even!
