She’s a beauty. I have enjoyed this series 🇨🇦

Thanks George. There are times when I nearly gave up on the car and making the videos. I'm glad that I persevered on both counts.

Engine sounds great now. I had a lot of problems with my original petrol tank, so much crud in it, in the end I put a new alloy one in end of problem. You have made a great job on the inside. It will be worth it everywhere you go you will get positive comments. Nice car

[@treetopspider]

Ive still got a slight misfire going on. I managed to find a really good mechanic who used to work on these cars back in the day so Ive booked him in to come in next week to go over everything Ive done and fine tune it. Thats literally the final job as far as it stands

[@art1muz13]

Looking good, it looks a million dollars!

[@treetopspider]

Thanks Artemus.I might advertise it for a million dollars and see if I get any takers 🤣

[@demetrisdemetrious8702]

Looks great abselutley stunning, all that hard work through the winter and all the other work you had to, Well done,,,, your on the last chapter and its done. Hm! might sell my sailboat and come back to a TR6 🤣

[@treetopspider]

The TR6 has got your name written all over it hahah. Ive been waiting for you to start your sailboat series now that youve got the GoPro

[@TheKnacklersWorkshop]

Hello Johnny, It really does look good, well done. Summer will be here soon for you to get out and about in it... Cheers. Paul,,

[@treetopspider]

Hi Paul Its been a huge uphill slog but I'm close to the end now. Never again!

[@D3Sshooter]

looking good, a pressure bypass between the feed and return might also help Closing the bonnet for once and for all with a TR-6 PI hmmmm only if you sell it.....

[@treetopspider]

Hahaha dont say that, surely they arent as bad as that 😆

[@cheftush]

There are also secondary emergency releases available for the bonnet. Good investment.

[@treetopspider]

I did see those on Rimmer Bros website. I didnt order one but maybe in hindsight I should have

[@spellacy29]

That's becoming a superb TR6. I hope you think it's worth the agro. I certainly do!

[@treetopspider]

There are times I didnt think so but now I definitely agree

[@elderberry2255]

You are so close mate…it looks a million dollars! I will start boxing up the MK2 Chopper 😂😂

[@treetopspider]

From my dream car to my dream bike 😆😆😆 I'd love to restore such an iconic bike for you. These past two weeks have been very progressive with the TR6. The restoration seemed to have speeded up all of a sudden

[@elderberry2255]

@@treetopspider your on the very final straight and it’s going to be a triumph! One of your best and what a classic to save!

[@cheftush]

If you are on a budget, you might want to consider the SS bumpers from either the Harrington Group or Bumper Automobile ( both Vietnamese). I’ve got a set on my TR250 and are happy with them.

[@treetopspider]

It looks like SS is the way I am going to go. Theres absolutely no chance of getting decent chrome ones. I'll be ordering this week

[@cheftush]

@@treetopspider for what you pay for them I don’t think you will be unhappy. You may need to play around with the mounting hardware a bit as usually they send metric fasteners….

[@treetopspider]

@@cheftush I ordered them this morning and they should be with me tomorrow. I did hear that you have to mess with them a little to get them to fit nicely. I suppose with everything else Ive had to deal with on this car, they shouldnt be too much of a headache

[@saftevand]

I would think twice about fitting a stainless steel exhaust, I deeply regretted changing from mild steel to stainless when I had my TR6 as it completely ruined the great sound and was far noisier. And I imagine that a mild steel one will last very long if the car is not driven on salty roads

[@treetopspider]

That actually makes really good sense. I can imagine that this car will spend most of its life in a garage and only coming out to play on a hot and summery day. Which by the way is precisely why I sold the hard top ☺

[@saftevand]

@@treetopspider It's just my opinion/experience (from 20+ years ago) - some like the sound of the stainless system
