1973 Triumph TR6 Restoration - Part 40 - Before the Big Day

Final preparations before the British Car Day. Is she ready?

[@cjs577]

Respect. I really enjoyed all the videos. After some Saab restaurations, I am now ready for a TR6. And your efforts in creating these detailed videos will help me in this challenge... Thanks a lot 👍

Well, its 5 yrs later Sir Elin ! Outstanding ! Your efforts are more than inspiring they bring hard facts and how-to's to my live time rejuvenation of a 1974 TR6 that was "hacked" and somewhat abandoned but is running the blacktop on Vancouver Island, right now ! 35 items on my list, so far and thats using it everyday. Seats to re-cushion, carbs too(two) tune, boot to re-panel inside etc,etc. BUT She's all steel and original vinyl/wood and Factory installed "stuff". "Snoopy" lives ! So my 4-H training in-hand, TLC , YOUR vids, Moss & Co. We're living the new "normal"... at 70 (yrs & mph). AND lovig it ! 😀🤗😀 SLANTE !

The car looks great Elin. Have a good day tomorrow. JL

[@BruceBoschek]

Excellent update and the car looks spectacular! What a beauty it has become. Thanks for the video and looking forward to the one on the car show!

[@RustyBeauties]

Thank you Bruce!

My Miata may run forever and a day without having to touch it with a wrench, but it ain't got the soul the TR6 does...

[@delmascriss7299]

I like your cars...& Your work is great.... I'm in the wrong place at the wrong time... but nice work 😋

[@RustyBeauties]

Thanks! Why wrong time and place?

[@delmascriss7299]

@@RustyBeauties my employer just doesn't have the payroll to do it......but he's a good guy 🤔

Have a great day at the British Car Show today (Sunday) Elin. I hope you and Tush feel very proud of the cars you display. They are utter masterpieces in restoration. I didn't realise you were so close to the airport (@ 09:38) so if all goes to plan I will be flying over your workshop a year from today. The other part of the plan may be more difficult as I hope to bring over my '78 Mini 1000 to the show. It all looks 'doable' but 'Best laid plans of mice and men'.... Still checking out the best way to get a car from the UkK to Toronto. I had hoped to be at the 'Brits on the park' show, as they are featuring Minis next year, as well as the Oakville one but they are too far apart. Air fares are cheap but not seafreight! My Mini will be 40 years old next month so deserves a holiday abroad ...

[@RustyBeauties]

Like I said somewhere else. Any help you need with that let me know. It will be a pleasure to help!

[@1chish]

So typically generous of you Elin thank you. Save up a list of parts and I can bring them with me !!

[@farrellvanderree9380]

Looks awesome! I watch your videos and learn lots as I am assembling my 73 TR6 too

[@RustyBeauties]

Thanks Farrell! Good luck with your 73!

[@robertthornhill4379]

elin nice one good video bob

[@bobrose7900]

Stunning job, these cars were highly sort after, if somewhat flawed (BL).

[@TRRehab]

Nice work

[@liten48]

yes agree, yr looking older and hair getn bit thin on top yr but still beautiful lol

[@RustyBeauties]

LOL very encouraging!

[@waynemullins6754]

Elin your beauty looked great at the show today! Thanks for all the effort in creating your instructive videos - they are a great reference for those of us restoring our rusties. What's next on the agenda now that the '73 is essentially complete?

[@RustyBeauties]

Thanks Wayne! There are a few more details to be finished on the TR6 and then I will be back on my GT6 I guess

[@waynemullins6754]

Elin Yakov Fear not - Chef Tush will probably recruit you to help finish his TR25O! If you get desperate I have a TR250 undergoing a complete restoration here in Niagara...a bit of a commute!

[@davelightfoot2913]

Looks great.

[@RustyBeauties]

Thanks!
