[V8] Ah...the TR's...

Mine was BRG also.  I put Konis in the rear because I kept breaking the
shock mounts or axle mounts or something.  With those welded up stronger and
the Konis, I never broke them again, but it rode like crap.

I remember one day coming to a light even with a Datsun 2000 roadster and I
thought 6 cylinders could take four, but I was soon shown otherwise.  Of
course, my engine was not anywhere near fresh.

Had I been considerably more into DIY then, I'm sure I'd have had a lot more
fun.
