Hello From Des Moines Iowa

Hi All !
I've been playing with Triumphs since 1969 when my Dad got me interested in them. I've worked in a couple of Leyland dealerships, a couple small shops, plus wrenched on a D Production TR6 back in the late 70s - early 80s. My first car was a 62 TR4 which though is in a thousand pieces, I still have it.

Along with the TR4, I have a 71 GT6, 61 Herald, 68 TR250, 79 Spitfire, 66 TR4a IRS, 69 Spitfire, and a whole bunch of parts cars. At present they're all in need of restoring.

At present I'm restoring my 71 GT6. Fortunately, it has no rust so all I really need is hydraulics, carpet, wood dash, muffler, headliner, and paint.
