I am just getting started in a life long enthusiasm of the LBC. I started out by taking the governor out of my minibike and the madness took over from there. Was a deisel engine rebuilder/machinist/mechanic/field mechanic etc.. for a number of years. Father-n-Law just named me Mr. Fixit the other day. don't know if that good or bad!!

Right now I am restoring my Tr6 with all the work done by yours truly and it has come along slowly but it is getting there and I also have a Tr4 that was given to me 11 years ago (last registered in 1981) that i collect parts for, and after the Tr6 is done my attention will be focused on her. I enjoy all the informative posts and info on the forums and the camaraderie that ensues. Newbie Jsonic

Hi There Jsonic,

"Welcome" to "THEE" best "LBC" forum you can find (You`ve found that out already)!

Your TR6 Looks just Great by the way! Introduce Yourself and Your TR4, TR6 to the folks on the "Triumph" Forum and they`ll be waiting there for you to see pics of "Both" your cars. We all "LOVE" pics here!!

Best Wishes with both projects,

Russ

PS: I had a `72TR6, `66TR4A-IRS (Both really fun cars):

Welcome, neighbor! We have a few TR4s in our local group that do our canyon runs in the Malibu area. I hope we see yours out there when it's done. smile
