Finally going to be getting to work on this project. Had it sitting at my parents on a rusted pos bent frame and finally got a new frame come up as available. Only had it sitting in there for the better part of 20 years

Here's where we started ^.

Finally wrapping this up. Still have to caulk trim and fill nail holes, but for the most part, it's at a 'finished' stage. Wood wall will have a fireplace in front of it but I'll work on that over the summer. It may be hard to tell in photos but there is a large single plate of glass in where the window is.

And I finally got to use the router that I've had for over a decade, lol. Built a shelf on both sides of the window.

Nice accomplishment. I really like what you've done with the place!

Thanks, man. No kidding. It's mental trickery. I lost a whole 16 foot piece by making just 2 mistakes that ended in not enough length.

Looks great. Now I can see what trim around your shiplap looks like I may do that around mine too.

Key to crown or any trim is don't think too much. Easier said than done...haha

Thanks. Can finally check a completion box on my never ending list of to-do's.

Painting two more upstairs bedrooms and flooring on the stairs is next. Painting had opened the door to, "now I have to paint the whole house"... :crazyeyes:

I know how that goes. Our bathroom was remodeled a couple months ago. It's so fresh and clean . Now we really want fresh paint everywhere else in the house. Ahh the damn can of worms.

Thanks. I googled a bunch of images ahead of time to see what would or wouldn't work. Black trim with pine tongue and groove looked decent enough IMO. I'm going to add some black shelves and a black framed picture over the fireplace too at some point.

Did you use 1/4 round or cove molding for the sides? I can't tell. I was thinking of doing cove molding all the way around my wall.

Very cool. Are you doing a full restore?

Unfortunately the budget says no. But my Father has another one and he is. He bought a new frame fenders and all. I’m making this one with his old parts. Make it run and maybe pretty later.

Very nice. I always have a hard time differentiating. Is it a Triumph or MG? Or I guess neither(I'm sure there were other similar cars in that era).

My dad, a few of my uncles, and some of my cousins have restored Triumphs. Nice little cars.

Very keen eye. I have always loved the body styling of these old triumphs, yes I am probably a bit partial having grown up with them around but they are just so sleek.

Very cool project. I like the TR6's. I think I prefer the spitfire body style though. If you need parts for your build check out 'The Roadster Factory' in Armagh, PA. They specialize in old British sports cars. I know my uncle has worked with machine shops as well to make bushings and other parts he wasn't able to find during his build, so if you run into any hiccups feel free to reach out to me and I'll see if he has a contact that can help. Good luck!
 
Been a while since I've updated one this thread but finally got my sod installed today, been a long year but getting closer in the backyard
