I've been on and off using these forums for several years. No sense not joining one. They have been a treasure trove of knowledge... Some more so than others, but excellent reads just the same.
Back in 2000, for $1600, I bought a box of junk plus a rolling chassis with a motor and transmission on it. It was my first 1974 TR6, early with the directional lights above the bumper, and with the gigantic rubber over riders. But I loved that car. I rebuilt it completely. It was also my favorite color, (mallard). Well by 2010 I sold her. Kicked my own ars ever since. I put so much into it and hated to sell it, but I had to have my motorcycle. I used most of the money from that car for a 2010 Harley Road King Classic. Fast forward to 2019, I ran into a health problem, ended up on chemo for a stint. I wanted to get my mind right and onto something I've always loved doing. My dear wife encouraged me to find another TR6, which I talked about on countless occasions. So, I started a search. At the time I was living in RI. A close friend of mine joined me in search of my next project car. By the time I found one, with my friends help, we were in the middle of the now fabled pandemic. I crossed state lines anyway, into Connecticut, regardless of the governor's pleads not to do so. I bought a '72 with no interior other than some bare metal parts, and busted roof frame. But it ran, and it only had 54K miles on it original!! Long story short, I'll be holding onto this one down here in sunny Florida. I put a lot of sweat and investment into it. Is it perfect? No. Is it a great driver? Yes indeed. I'll share some pics.
Thank you for the welcome
