BlueTR3A-5EKT Posted August 29, 2021 Report Share Posted August 29, 2021 Are they the wheels the car came with? They look like '69 model year TR6 rims with USA 185 red-stripes. Nice rims. Peter W Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dblenk Posted September 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2021 Well body tub nearly stripped a few broken bolts to drill out remove harness and air vent see pics of body tub rust. ok not blasted but not looking a total basket looked solid 28 years ago but seems to have gone in both rear sills/floors a liitle on the rear valance and bulkhead a small hole which will be bigger once blasted ??? bump stop broke through so guessing just needs capping off again i have i think NOS inner and outer sills in the loft thinking of getting a price for a professional job or might take the plunge myself ???? david Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dblenk Posted October 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2021 (edited) Well for the first time since 1969 the body has left the chassis trailing arm sections look ok on first glance so just that passenger side rear section or it would have been perfect chassis strip this weekend then off to the shotblasters, then we will find out the truth PS thanks son for helping me lift it off Edited October 7, 2021 by dblenk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stuart Posted October 8, 2021 Report Share Posted October 8, 2021 Interesting way of body bracing there Dave! I would move them to the inside of the door apertures aa where they are you risk distortion of both decks. This is a more appropriate brace. Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
