[@graemelliott3942]

Trever is one happy dude! Nice work Elin!

[@timmarsh6754]

Well done Elin. Nothing like seeing a job well done. You should be proud of yourself and your persistence.

[@frankmgallo]

It great seeing you and Dave working together on projects. So much info great job

[@adrianjackman9422]

Another lovely car restored. Love watching your work thank you for sharing.

[@simonwalters6733]

Nice job Elin that's the sweetest sounding 6 engine I've heard 👌👌👌👌👌

[@frglee]

Well done! Another beautiful 'blast from the past' saved and put back on the road to give more pleasure to drivers and spectators alike.😊

[@tomtugboat]

Great video series ! Lucky guy Trevor !

[@ceesklumper]

Nice result!

[@richardwhatton1249]

Well done Elin a very nice useable, reliable car and loads of cosmetic improvements for the owner to have fun with. Kind regards, Richard.

[@donprice9050]

I really enjoyed this series. It must drive like new now.

[@johnmoruzzi7236]

Nice to see it running sweetly, hope it gets some use next year till it returns next winter for its body-off chassis restore and paint refresh once you’ve got the 2 GT6s finished and gone from the garage. And the other TR6 gone from your main workplace !

[@MrMikeyspfx]

Well done Elin. Car sounds great and it will be good for a lot more miles.

[@Zincaloom]

Nice work. Great project to watch and learn. Thanks

[@garyferrari1366]

What a great series of videos on my favourite sports car, just finished the last one, which ones shall I watch next, keep em coming

[@alastairwatson3201]

[@jamessimmons8352]

[@alans5187]

[@seanwalsh999]

[@kjeldlarsen912]

Happy ending thx👍🚗😊

[@graycav56]

Man, weather in November up there is beautiful!!

[@RustyBeauties]

Well, that was actually early September :) I am just catching up with editing old footage

[@larryp6814]

Wave goodbye. Oh, wave hello! Great series of videos. Looking forward to more GT6.

[@gordonblank6845]

Job Done!

[@not-fishing4730]

Nice to see that your "boot" was off. Is someone else going to rust-convert and paint the body underside and frame?

[@rickdaniel8478]

Bravo Good job Cheers

[@starckmad1779]

Another job completed! A record better than Samcrac! 😉

[@davidmarshall5810]

Elin, Did you do a cam break-in procedures to marry the flat solid lifter to the cam lobes? If not why, as I will be assembling my TR6 motor in the spring and would like to know. Thanks

[@RustyBeauties]

I think this procedure applies to new camshaft only. Here all the parts worked together before and don't need to be re-married. It is my opinion, might be wrong.

[@davidmarshall5810]

@@RustyBeauties Sorry Elin, I missed that in the video that it was not a new cam and lifters in that you were using your old ones. As meticulous as you are an organized I’m sure you put all the lifters/tappits back in the original positions. Thanks for getting back to me and clearing this up. Your videos have helped me a lot in restoring my TR6 and the Spitfire. Just to let you know my spitfires in 1980 and the bumpers have been removed and I put bumpers on from a 1974. Chrome looks so much better. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. Dave

[@youngmuttley]

Brilliant series, but did you remove the washer from the pressure relief valve and if so did it reduce the oil pressure? Regards Muttley.

[@RustyBeauties]

Yes, and the pressure dropped to about 70

[@tombrown7449]

The air in the line will compress to what ever the oil pressure is, hence you have 100 psi of air at your impact wrench. just saying

[@Mr1300SKIPPY]

Concluding another very nice serie !... What about a final Part 25 with Trevor bringing back his car to show the cosmetics up to final standard ?

[@davefloyd4172]

Elin great job do you sell these cars?

[@markrobinson8539]

I believe that the oil pressure relief valve should be at 95 PSI. When I rebuilt my 1972 TR6 in 1984 the oil pressure when cold was about 95 PSI as well. I don't think air in the oil pressure gauge line will matter, as the air will compress and still read the correct pressure.

[@RustyBeauties]

Yeah, that was just a guess on our side about the air in the line :) Turned out we were wrong

[@markrobinson8539]

Yes if you think about it, a pressure gauge works fine on air pressure lol In the heat of the moment it is easy to latch onto a theory that is wrong. I think the oil pressure relief value is given in the data section of the British Leyland shop manual. I will see if I can find my manual today. I bought a King 10kW electric heater for my garage but delivery is taking a long time. I recently added two 44 inch and one 26 inch US General rolling tool cabinets from Harbor Freight. I got the 3 units at around the same price as one of the big 72 inch models. Take a look at them. It would enhance your shop.

[@philtucker1224]

Hi Elin, do you still have your day job at the Limo garage?

[@RustyBeauties]

Yes, that is my only source of income :) Can't lose it.

[@bobrose7900]

Engine sounded great, needs an ignition upgrade to stop the stuttering and the body should have been the first job, just crying out to be done.... fingers crossed for the future.

[@crasbee]

Will Trevor paint the fender himself? That'll rust really quickly if it stays bare. Would be a shame if the car rusted even more than already :(

[@RustyBeauties]

Yes, he is planning to paint the entire car at some point.

[@bernardsavoy5269]

Good Bye!!!

[@garymallard4699]

" Crackalackin " ...someones been to Madagascar ???

[@johnnyralf3453]

Oil pressure way too high.

[@RustyBeauties]

Yes, that is why I had to remove that washer that was added to the pressure relief valve spring
