I bought a 1971 TR6 that has not run since 1983. Had 2 holes in the block. I bought this last year as a COVID-19 project. Just got the title today. I’m currently rebuilding a motor, and am replacing all bushings brakes hoses etc. I have ordered a wiring kit and will do that in October. I’m retired a couple of times and went back to work part time. Hopefully will be driving this next spring.

You have come to the right place and GOOD ON YOU. What kind of holes in motor?? Where did you find the car?? So many of the Threads in this site have cars that have been sitting for years. A lot of good advice here
