Triumph Spitfire headlamp surround?
Hi.
I have to change one of the headlamps on my 1972 Spitfire, but can’t see how to remove the cowling which surrounds it.
The car has had some bodywork done before i bought it, so there is the possibility that someone put filler over a screw head or rivet.
Can anyone advise me how to do it?
Have checked rimmer brothers site..it lists the part and has a pic, but no evidence of how to remove it (it is part 911 102)
picture reference:

You are removing part # 911101 or 02 based on the Rimmer ref. You will need to remove three bolts to remove the headlamp surround. You will need to raise the hood to access them. One bolt is at the bottom front edge of the hood and about two inches in from the front of the surround. The other bolt is located next to the lower outside nut that holds the headlamp housing in the hood. Third bolt is on the inside the front of hood close to where the wiring harness is tucked-away.
Don’t be fooled by the avatar – this was written by my hubby, a Triumph Spitfire expert!

Edited to add the third bolt

Best website for classic car parts?
What is the best website to buy classic car parts? Parts for cars made in the late 70′s? For example a 1977 Thunderbird?
Rockauto.com has tons of new, replacement parts for ’70s cars and there are no price mark-ups for “classic” cars.

How to get into car restoration?
I want to get into car restoration, classic to be exact. I want to know how to get into it. I’ve always wanted to make it a hobby and just restore cars on the side and sell them for profit, but should i pursue it as a career since i have a huge love of classic cars?
What will i need to begin meaning should i buy tools first or start getting books or should i go to college for it or what?
For reference, i am about to go to college and i just want to know how you would possibly start this. I kind of want to make a business out of it, but i’m still deciding.
Buy an old car and have at it!
