Z320 Posted December 1, 2018 Report Share Posted December 1, 2018 Used it as a workshop to paint some m² of wood paneling with the garage door opened, so got a visit from a new naibor some streets away, told me he owns an Austin Healey 3000, wants to visit we with the car when the weather is better.

iani Posted December 8, 2018 Report Share Posted December 8, 2018 In addition to my progress on changing the fuel pump & wiring listed elsewhere, I managed to drill out an old rivet and by using some slightly larger than standard bolts I fitted the tool roll strap in the boot. If only I had an original toolkit to restrain this would be great! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Z320 Posted December 15, 2018 Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 The Mazda seats are out, but I had to move the TR out of the garage to get another car on the pit. "New" driver seat was fast made of old rugs and some picknick rugs, was not that bad as I am 192 cm tall. (shure, not for driving on public roads) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steves_TR6 Posted December 15, 2018 Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 My TR6 is luxuriating in the garage this winter for the first time ! I’m replacing the rear wings, and whilst the trim is out am replacing that too. going well so far, the offside wing is off and there’s not much corrosion evident underneath which is a result. when the temp gets back above 5c i’ll finish unbolting the nearside wing which is better condition than the offside so i’m hopeful there won’t be any nasty surprises. i’ve bought an original offside wing thats in great condition, still looking for a sensibly price nearside one if anyone has such a thing? Then i need to choose a local firm to paint and maybe fit them. i was thinking of fitting the wings myself but am unsure.... steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Waldi Posted December 15, 2018 Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 Steve, if you first trial fit your new wing and are happy with the fit, you can then have it sprayed separate from the car by a body shop. Then fit it. This will give the best result. Waldi Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brenda Posted December 15, 2018 Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 steve, I have just done one rear wing on my 4a, fitted a few times to get it right then had it sprayed. Did a dry fit then with masking tape. Then did it for real with the none setting windscreen sealer. It would have been easier if there were four hands and not just the two I have. Good luck it will work out fine. Mike Redrose Group Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Steves_TR6 Posted December 17, 2018 Report Share Posted December 17, 2018 Thanks Waldi and Mike! after 90 minutes gentle swearing at lunchtime the second wing is off! The plan is as suggested, offer up the ‘new’ wings and when happy have them painted and fit VERY CAREFULLY! does anyone know of an original nearside wing for sale, i’d rather have a good original than ‘new’ steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steves_TR6 Posted December 20, 2018 Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 Had a clean up of the ‘under wing’ areas today, was surprised to find very little rust! what is the recommended treatment for the areas where the wings bolt up to, before fitting, to slow the rust down? steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted December 20, 2018 Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 Hi Steve, do you not have wheel arch liners. They keep everything spotless. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fit wheel arch protectors if you fancy but using my method it will still out last you. Stuart. Edited December 20, 2018 by stuart Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steves_TR6 Posted December 20, 2018 Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 Thanks Stuart i’m unsure about the seam sealer part, is that to protect the existing paint ? steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SeanF Posted December 21, 2018 Report Share Posted December 21, 2018 Hi Steve, I think Stuart is referring to the joint where the rear deck panel folds down over the inner wing. So the length from the back of the B pillar to the front of the boot lid. The joint where the deck panel folds over the inner wing should be seam sealed to stop water going up into the joint.
