That car will be very, very nice once it’s complete. Nice work!

door gaps are difficult as the tr6 sags and the body needs to be lifted or dropped with shims at the rear to adjust gaps....all a nightmare....to get gaps perfect on a TR6 takes a few days alone of hanging and adjusting all body panels. Bice job and looks nice now.....mine is at the same stage except not painted only engine compartment as engine is back in.

Yes it's 136 Delft Blue, back to its factory colour. Was painted a darker 'Jaguar' blue when I bought it. Looked nice but I wanted back to original. You'll see though that I opted for a Chestnut Brown leather interior with New Tan wool carpet to replace the powder blue original, which I really despised. They look great new and fresh but don't age well at all. I know the brown interior with a Blue car is not everyone's cup of tea, but I've seen one or two others and in my opinion looks great, and will age well. Also this is a 1974 1/2 as it left the assembly line on Dec. 31, 1974 and was sold as a 19975 model here in Canada.
