She arrived last night at 6:00. It was just as the seller represented...a project, but within my capabilities. Wish me luck! 1971 Triumph TR-6. I will try to post a pic.

I hope she doesn't look like her dad!

Come Watson. The game is afoot!
hehehe
Have fun Brent. You're in for a trip. Once you get that TR6 out on the road,with everything sorted out and ticking away, everything will be worth it.

You have your diapers ready? She's a boy, right?

Congrads. When are you going to mail out the cegars? lol

Way to go, Brent! I look forward to seeing it.

Any chance you want to christen it with a trip to the New Orleans show in March? I'm trying to get a caravan together to travel down, and then do a drive along the River Road to see some of the antebellum plantations.

Is it TOO UGLY for pictures?

 

[brent615]

I think a trip to New Orleans may be ambitious at this point but who knows. I am working on flushing/changing all of the fluids this weekend then troubleshooting electrical (IMAGINE THAT). I charged the battery and got all of the lights including gauge lights and radio to work. Turn signals are the only exception. I'll keep you posted.

What is the old saying....good from a far but far from good? It has a unique two tone paint job that is hard to explain. I am working on a website now for pics.

She came with a factory hard top, good soft top, new tonneau, the Bently book, center console, car cover, and 12+ years of receipts. I think I got a pretty good deal. Very little rust, no rust thru. I think there is a problem in the ignition switch. I plan to get the engine in order before I try to turn her over manually.

Gee, Brent, Kodanja's TR6 is 71' and yours is only 12'11". Why the disparity?

Sorry, couldn't help it.
