This TR6
was bought on 10th.May 1997. It was intended as a future project.
The condition of it was, well, what do I say, boxes of parts with a
rusty rolling chassis and a few rusty panels thrown in for good
measure. The whole lot was transported to my house in a van. The guy
I had bought it from had completely stripped it down with the
intention of restoring it but changed his mind or he considered it
an uneconomical restoration.
In May 2001 I started to restore WNV 832 H, my sixth TR6 to be
restored by myself. As I have said the body shell that came
with this TR6 was virtually non existent. The chassis was replaced
using a USA one which I already had. This was in very good condition
and little work was needed. It was rebuilt using the same process
and standards as all my restorations. As this one was to be used as
an "everyday" car here in Spain it would not be to Concours
standard. The inner body shell was originally off a 1973 Right
Hand Drive model that I had acquired some time before this project,
which was in this case, fortunate.
Having
just sold the house subject to contract, Maria and myself decided
that we would move to Spain to live. So I had about three months to
get as much done on this TR6 pi before the move. It was virtually
finished prior to coming out to Spain including the shell which was
finished in Signal Red two pack paint. The shell is currently bolted
on to the chassis.
New wiring
harness is installed, petrol tank, brake servo, heater etc.
I think rather than waffle, click this
link to the photo gallery depicts the TR6 restoration, more photos will be posted as work progresses.
The other
item I require, for this restoration project, is a KPH speedo.
