My Vehicles: 1976 TR6 Owner/restorer since April 2004 with this TR6 nearing completion. Previously owned '63 Alpine, '70 MG Midget and '67 TR4A. Other marques - drove then girlfriend's '70 Datsun 240Z for a couple years and found it excellent and fun to drive. My daily driver is a 2004 BMW Z4 2.5i Roadster. It's now May 2022 and I still have the TR6 but my daily driver is a 2011 BMW 128i convertible. Sweet car!

Old Models
Posted on: Saturday February 4, 2012
In response to Al (Falkon's) post on old models I dug out two I could not part with. A 1/8 scale Monogram Jag E-Type coupe that I did when I was 15 or 16 and a 1/24 scale Monogram die-cast metal MG-TC that I did in my 20's. The glue is letting go on both and they will have to be refurbished if I keep them. The plan is to put them in a glass case in my garage. Bob Feb. 05/12

There is a little surface rust and as can be expected, a couple of small holes in the battery tray area. A patch will be fabricated and MIG'd in there. No further sheet metalrepair is required.
Restoration Update

I lost the Summer, such as it was (crappy weather til September) but I did get the diff and trailing arms out, replacing bearings and seals in the diff and installing a drain plug. Got the TA's rebushed and added Goodparts adjustable brackets. Along with new wheel cylinders and mounting kit, installed Goodrich braided brake lines, rebuilt brake adjusters and painted everything, replacing old nuts and bolts with shiny, new Grade 8...
Progress Report
Posted on: Wednesday April 27, 2011
Looking a little less sleek now. That's the diff on the floor next to the car. Having completed the trailing arm stud repair I wanted to replace the T/A pivot bushings so dropped the T/As and the differential to replace the diff axle shaft bearings and oil seals and the pinion bearing and oil seal. Got all that out on the floor last night along with most of the stock SS exhaust system and am currently trying to press out the old bushings and install the new. The plan is to degrease, pressure...
