TR6 "On The Road Again" - BUT

After more than 12 years, this TR6 has come back to life. I took it out for my first ride yesterday and am more than pleased. The previous owner had a good start on the restoration before he died in 2000. I got it 6 months ago, after it sat in a garage since his death, and have been chasing missing parts every since. I've had several questions about getting this thing together and thanks to the guys on this forum I've had a lot of help. But, please don't go away as I'm not done yet.

Couple of things I noticed after I got it off the jacks and on the road. 1) The speedometer is not working correctly. It only gets up to about 22 mph but the odometer seems to be OK. 2) The rear end seem to sag pretty bad. I'm afraid of scraping the mufflers off.

Gotta go, post more later.

On the road is a good thing! So pictures??

I'm also curious about the sagging issue as I can't imagine it being that low to scrape the mufflers unless there's an issue with the springs and shocks.

You might want to get a shop manual,& compare the specs
to your car.Or maybe find another 6 that you could compare it with.
They do sit fairly low.
