Good eye!



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!

Thanks, I think we have enough parts between 3ish cars to make one. But we have used them and moss motors for my fathers TR6.

Thanks. Always welcome..
She's an attention getter. Haha First time I drove her a Mexican dude rolled up next to me at light and asked when I was going to add the wind shield visor and rear skirts.. We both laughed.:cheesy:

Thats a nice yard! Customers often ask.. “should we do seed or sod”.. and I tell them, Seed is a lot cheaper, but there is nothing like the Instant Grassification of Sod.

Thanks man, I read thinking seed for a minute too, but my dogs would have made that a problem, but just like you said, that instant grassification is pretty awesome!

Some more progress on the TR6. Over the last few days there has been some frame welding with reinforcemtns.

as you can se we are taking our time, making sure everything is straight and level all the way back front middle back, and welded plates.

Still some more welding plating and stuff to go before we swap the rest of the rear drive line back in but things are progressing well. hopefully next weekend we can get the body back on the frame if all goes well. With the little one being sick things seeme to have slowed down a bit on my end and my father is just picking away at it when he is bored.
 
Started on the stairs 2 days ago. Yesterday while scabbing the risers, I realized the second to last tread was 3/8's of an inch wider than the rest. My OCD would not let this stand so I pulled it off and ripped it down on the table saw. I've also caught heel on that step and hadn't given it much thought. Can't help but wonder if this was the culprit...haha.
 
Wasn't sure what to do with my driveway this Spring: Apply for Jeep Badge of Honor trail status or fill the holes in. We decided to fix it and avoid the traffic. Nice having a neighbor with a back hoe to go along with my landscape rake to spread the big stuff out.

Trying to figure out how to get my new Nintendo Switch to turn on. Holy shit, I miss the 80s. This new thing is like a spaceship. A simple game of the original Mario Bros took a fucking hour to get started.

Most of these newer electronics require a dang internet account with them just to use them
 
Added a little bit more cross bracing than factory in following the new frame that my father bought for his.

Then we gave it a nice coat of brush on rustoleum

Now we are down to waiting on parts.
