Les's 1976 Triumph TR6 Restoration, Day 2

[@tomtugboat]

What a good friend to be helping Les out !

[@cheftush]

Thomas Reilly well, he’s a good worker...stubborn like me though, but less patient 😎

[@bshnabel]

Good, more videos to watch and keep us busy in isolation 🍺

[@corylwillrise]

Les needs a sitcom.

[@cheftush]

It would have to be aired late night 😉

[@skipgould1780]

Nice progress! And the car didn't bite your finger again. A wire clothes hanger is the right size to push out those door handle pins.

[@1chish]

Les was born to wear those sun shades. It was written in the stars. I just wonder if that bodyshell isn't savable unless there is something seriously wrong somewhere. Nice project all the same and it will keep you busy during your enforced vacation .. Stay safe Tush & Les.

[@cheftush]

It probably could be saved...there is some body damage outside of the rust that would need to be straightened out but I think I’ve worked on worse cars 😉

[@1chish]

@@cheftush Hah .. yes indeed you have. And are ... And they always come out great ...

[@roundtailrestoration]

Good progress, guys. Lots of interesting finds!

[@SteveDentonClassics]

2 videos in one day, what a treat! You'll have Les' 6 done by the end of July the rate your both hitting it

[@type2drvr]

Do they have a lockdown in Canada like we have in the US?You can get a lot done when you're locked down.

[@SteveDentonClassics]

I guess so, I'm not sure? I'm in the UK and we're currently in lockdown. But yeah your right, it's the time when we can do so much

[@robertinfanzon6187]

Looking good with those Sun shades on Les! lol

[@r1lark]

Les is a really industrious guy! Still think he needs his own KZbin channel -- "Les is More"

[@ericpfiffner5615]

Les's pink "driver's seat" is still installed I see. Thanks for the idea on the linoleum door panels!

[@bpprojects6676]

Great video!

[@richardwhatton1249]

Great sun glasses

[@albyers5554]

Good video

[@boldorboy08]

Les must be a good friend to be able to talk to you like that without getting slapped 😉

[@indyme2]

Day 2! I want more. You guys are making it hard on me. Sat in my TR6 for about 20 minutes yesterday...dreaming. Need a place to work. The shop is just too small.

[@cheftush]

indyme2 that little bitty car is about the size of a 440 block, you could find space 😉

[@robertthornhill4379]

hi david, i referred to the door inner card at least that's what we call them in the u.k.

[@BruceBoschek]

Lyle Mays was a very talented jazz pianist and played with Pat Metheny's combo. Unfortunately, he passed away at a young age.

[@cheftush]

Thanks Bruce. Would be worth a listen.

[@starckmad1779]

A veritable Elton John that Les is! See if you can play a few seconds of the Yellow Jackets as your background music on your next episode.

[@cheftush]

StarckMad 1 I actually did look up the Yellow Jackets on my Google Play and listened to them for a bit...not really my bag. Have you heard them before?

[@starckmad1779]

cheftush No I haven't heard them. But then I have pretty broad interests in music.

[@johnmoruzzi7236]

Street Dreams... one day maybe !

[@busman5429]

Like my friend in the UK who restoring a vw bus you both got cracking away at it today. Question: is the goal to use just the running gear on this 76 for the other TR ??

[@cheftush]

Busman 54 The plan is to use the running gear from this car and transfer it to the other body shell...however, we need to determine what frame we are going to use so we will pull the body off both cars to determine that.

[@holger5555]

Lyle Mays was a Musician of Jazz and died this year on February.Will Les make from two cars ,one car?

[@cheftush]

He is going to make 1 car. The other car has no engine or transmission and is missing quite a few other parts.

[@holger5555]

@@cheftush Okay thank you.

[@mikegoodman4133]

Hey Chef - we love your videos but we don't want you getting sick ( or Les)! How about practicing some physical distancing at this time.

[@cheftush]

Mike Goodman Thanks for your concern Mike. I live alone...I don’t go out unless I need to go grocery shopping and I practice social distance and take precautions. ......Les is the only one I’ve been interacting with and the plan is to continue that.

[@coltonhudson5225]

How much money are those seat belt Parker’s my 76 tr6 still has them mounted

[@cheftush]

Well, they use to be worth something before 3D printing came along....

[@robertthornhill4379]

only in canada not in the u.k.

[@cheftush]

bin diver bob what’s that Bob?

[@vwbusguy]

Les...whales have blubber..haha.

[@busman5429]

Sub to your channel I been working on my 1967 vw bus turning 66 in July been having a lot of health issues bad feet and legs but i do what I can I really enjoy working on the old vw buses and beetle as a hobby. I guess with my hobby I been practicing with the covid-19 the required physical distancing with my vw's for many years now. In iowa we are getting close to a 100 cases everyday and the death rate is going up. On my vw bus there is window sticker on it from the 60's that states "The Whole World is Going To Hell and I'm Driving This Bus"

$0.50 return on investment. Better than stocks theses days. Old joke from the '80's - how do you double the value of a Lada?.. Fill the gas tank.
