Hi
Just signed up. I am in Christchurch New Zealand and always on the lookout for hints, tips and advice.
My TR2 restoration is about 75% completed. I have owned it for a few years and it was looking rather sad. I dismantled it a year or so ago and found lots of past damage and shoddy repairs. Chassis and body have both been straightened and painted. Left front suspension tower extensively repaired. All beyond my experience so was done by a professional. Now spent twice my budget. Starting the re-assembly. Thankfully the motor and drive-train in reasonable order so no significant money spent there. I will have to tolerate minor oil leaks for now.
Meanwhile my TR6 is sulking in the shed waiting its turn for repair.
Bryan

Everybody knows that being "down under" makes the cars stick to the wall :D

Welcome to the BCF Bryan. When you get time hop over to the "Triumph" section and post any questions you have or help someone else with your expertise.
My wife an I spent some time in Christchurch last year... your city is wonderful! We also headed south to Akaroa and really liked that section of Canterbury.
