Hi...I just bought a TR-6 on E-Bay. Total impulse buy, but I was high on wanting a fun hobby car that would kick butt and celebrating the fact that I was no longer paying child support, after over 20 years. Got into the bidding the last ten minutes....my automatic bids put me just over the Reserve Price.....and now I am a proud owner of a French blue TR-6. I lucked out at the price I got it at...because though it is not "Concours"....it is REALLY nice. Horns don't work...I cleaned them up just like a blog said and they bench tested OK. I think it is the horn relay. Windshield washer is inop...got a new pump from Moss and a new jet kit. The old owner had the tubing coiled up inside the vent by the windshield and I have to figure out how to install the new jets. He put a new tune up kit in the trunk with all new Pertronix parts...coil and ignitor....but I think since I have a ballast wire I need the 1.5 ohm coil and not the 3 ohm. Car has a Boss Frog roll bar and a racing harness. Probably gonna ditch the harness and get a retractable shoulder harness. So far it is stuff I can do. The best surprises were no sales tax on cars in NC and no safety inspections on cars over 30 years old! Highway use tax....$41. That was it other than new title and plates. The car has new tires, wipers and lights work. Brakes are good. Service manual is on its way. Small oil leak in the front that looks like it is coming from some old tubing. Tranny is tired and needs to be double clutched down shifting. Eventually I will get a rebuilt with overdrive, but that is in the future. In any case, I will probably be on here asking stupid questions and advice. Bear with me!
