After some research, comprising of a bunch of books that came with the car and the Club Triumph forum , it appears that I now own a mk2 body, a mk1 engine, one or two mk3 interior bits and, weirdest of all, Herald 1200 front drum brakes.
Comm number is 2FC79743
Engine number is FC2423HES
Chassis number is FC79586
Australian Motor Industries LTD Body number is SP65143
Gearbox number is 1275
Diff number is 1433
First order of business is to get Godfrey running and sneak a quick drive up the road and back to help determine what shape the drive-train is in.
Ordered a new fuel pump from Rimmer Bros in the UK. This place may well become one of my favorite shops. The new pump is needed as the original pump body has stripped threads The PO did let me know this.
The clutch needs bleeding or new cylinder kit/kits installed. I'll get a look at that in the next few days.
Thanks to a tip on the Club Triumph forum, a pair of caliper plates are on their way from New Zealand. These are the first of the parts I'm collecting needed to return the front brakes to discs.
