Hello everyone, Greg Petersen here, Carson City, NV. I bought my 1966 Tiger in October of 2021, 75k on the odometer, code 86 (green) and last four of the vin are 0377.
I'm in the last stages of a complete, rotisserie restoration. Not a bolt, nut or wire wasn't cleaned or looked over. I've followed some of the threads here regarding originality and following a very regimented procedure to stay true to the brand. I did not build a resto-mod in any way, however there are some personal, yet tasteful touches of my own. I didn't build it to garner 100 points in a Tiger originality contest. I built a bad ass 289 HiPo motor with headers, F4B manifold, Holly carb, MSD distributor, 8mil wires, Flowmasters and steel exhaust. I restored my own dash with burl veneer, put the steering wheel back together from around 6 pieces, and the clock is a Smiths quartz in the wrong hole, far left. The motor dynoed at 302hp and 326ft lbs of torque, rebuilt trans, rear end, front suspension, rack and pinion, aluminum radiator, everything has been massaged. Since I'm just a plumber and not tech savvy, my FB page has a lot of pictures of my year of therapy. Please feel free to peruse my page, its under Gregory Petersen and I'm a member of the FB Rootes Group page. Thank you for reading my post, I look forward to our future correspondence.
