Mark Sorry Mark only just picked this up, the owner is paying direct for the paint work, I did all the undersides, tub insides, engine bay and boot areas. I would think about £5k.

It always amazes me to see restored cars emerge triumphantly from rust, misuse, old age, neglect, whatever. I will never get used to that feeling of seeing a TR come back together. Well done (imagine a fitting round of applause) Ciao, David Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Worse case scenario is the cost of paint etc and many hours taking back off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Motorsport Mickey Posted October 17, 2021 Report Share Posted October 17, 2021 That is a really nice car, understated but beautifully completed. You are on a roll Paul, which other model takes your fancy for a restoration. ? Mick Richards Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mick Richards Not sure at the moment Mick, maybe take a few weeks to consider a few things, this one leaves me in the week, I enjoy the work it keeps the brain going and me active.

Tony_C Posted October 21, 2021 Report Share Posted October 21, 2021 Superb Paul, did you also do the trim? Quality… Just out of curiosity, is that a grommet in front of the driver side screen, was it a aerial or, what? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hi Tony, I had a local upholsterer to do the seats while I did the rest and yes unfortunately it was an oversight on my part when restoring the tub I had forgotten the Ariel hole, thought about fitting a retractable Ariel but it would interfere with leg room. Unfortunately I had to live with a Grommet as the paint work had been done. Always learning!! Owner collected today Paul Quote Link to post Share on other sites
