George, I posted some pics on the forum where you made the request from to see some pics of the 72 I restored, but actually their in the wrong place so here's what I posted. PJ
Forgot to mention that as near as I could get it, the engine bay is as it came from the factory with the exception of one hose type.

Paul,
I thought your TF looked good, but this B is fantastic!
Is the TF still running sweet?

Yeah, the TF is running perfect. Since I had Dave Clark build me a 4.1 rear for it, it stays up with traffic without straining. I like driving the B better though. This TF doesn't do much for me, rides like a buckboard, steers like a go cart-(Very quick), and relays every outside noise possible. Haven't driven it much in the past few weeks, too much work to do around the place and it doesn't get used to go shopping so it sets. PJ

Dear Paul J., Thank you for the pictures. The red color really sets off the car beautifully. I especially enjoyed the engine interior with all the components as it came off the production line in 1972. You even have all the correct hose clamps! For me the engine compartment really sets one car from the majority of others. This is where the action is and is the most difficult area to keep clean. I really enjoyed seeing all the pictures and you have put the bar high for all of us. I will include a few pictures of my engine compartment so one can see the minor changes from 1972 to 1973. The major difference is the metal verses plastic fan and the running-on control valve in the 1973 B. Mine is missing the plastic fan as I put a relay operated fan. Thanks again for the pictures.
