Re: TR6 Paint up-date

Very sharp Hondo. I can only wish I had any skills when it comes to bodywork and painting.

Re: TR6 Paint up-date

Well It might be finished tomorrow, but some how, putting it all back together leads to another issue that side tracks me, Like today,, the reverse lights never worked, so pulled the transmission tunnel off, no wires to the switch, checked the switch, doesnt work, take switch off, take it apart and its froze/rusted up. fix switch put it back in, and change the rear transmission mount while I am in there, and where are the wires at? found a green wire that goes to the switch, Green Brown goes back, no green brown that I can see thats cut. But had a green and a green brown that I hooked to the switch so I could put the transmission cover back on and continue getting it back together and worry about the lights later, You will love this one, decided to check the reverse lights so I hooked up a hot wire and plugged it into the harness plug that goes to the reverse lights. no lights, after chasing it down and a volt meter and at least an hour, guess what no freeking bulbs in the sockets, Man I am loosing it

ps I am posting a queston about the reverse switch wiring in a separate post

thank for the great comments, I got no hair to pull out

Sometimes it's just better to walk away for a few days.

Re: TR6 Paint up-date

The Gathering will be held at Shelton Vineyards next Sat. Last year over 200 cars were registered. It's a super venue for a car show and just 1 and a half hours north of Charlotte. Take 77 north to exit 93....the winery is about 1 or 2 miles to the right. The show is sponsered by the Triumph Club of the Carolinas.........we need to get you in the club!!
Hope to see you there

Interior is back in, the exhaust is back on, I even welded a bung in the exhaust to put my O2 sensor in so I can finally get my webers dialed in.

Re: TR6 Paint up-date

as you can see in the previous pic I still have to get the top on, put my speakers back in, and some odds and end to straighten up, Gorden pm me on info for the carolina triumph club. I redid my seat brackets, the seats now sit more straight and about 1 1/2 inchs lower than my first attempt
