Anyone who wants to see Elin’s amazing work on my TR6, I’ll be bringing her to British Car Day this Sunday September 15th. Thanks again Elin !
Have a great day John! (I’d love to be there but I’m in the U.K.)
Loved the head-mounted go-pro camera video on the test drive!
See you there John!
@@philtucker1224 pretty lame excuse! Thanks Phil
@@cheftush likewise David ❗️
Congratulations and good luck. Beautiful job and well done. I think there’s a rusty beauty in that back corner that’s looking for a little love. Maybe not all that she needs at one time but some attention to keep her happy and waiting. Anna is waiting patiently!
Yes, It’s a pity that Elin can only work on paying jobs now that this his only income..
Nice to see the TR6 finished and looking & sounding wonderful!
I remember you driving the frame around the lot afew years ago (I think that was this car). What a great conclusion! Beautiful job Elin!
Elin what I did for the battery hold down on my TR4A (as I was also concerned about it contacting the terminals), was to place it on top of the battery. I placed it right on top of the plastic handle that comes with the battery. It holds very tight and no worries about contact.👍
I saw it at British Car Day and it looked fantastic. The owner is so happy’. Well done Elin!!
Great job. Time for the GT6!
Great job
Just a great job! With a happy ending
Fantastic result…. worth all the effort and expense.
The only things it is crying out for are…
1) Some correct earlier black wheel centres
2) Vents putting in the radiator shroud to get cold air to those funky Weber twin-choke carbs…
Great work, I have restored many cars and motorcycles and it seems like the last 5% of the project requires 15% of the total effort. Kudos to you for taking it to a high level of completion. Cant wait to see what’s next. Finish up the Mazda? Your GT6? Again, well done.
Hope to see everyone on Sunday. 😎
Congratulations John and Elin, have a good day tomorrow.
Thanks. Elin thanks again for restoring my car. You are a true artisan and an amazing educator. I think I can speak for everyone who follows you; you’re entertaining and you have a unique way of keeping us engaged in your projects. Again I can thank you enough. 😎🍺🍺🍺
that was a long journey, congratulations.
Agreed…
Beautiful looking car, a wonderful restoration Elin. But remember you can only adjust the idle mixture without swapping jets. So plug colour after driving is a bit irrelevant to idle adjustment.
Beautiful car , outstanding work !
Nice 👍👍👍😎😎😎
Congratulations on completion of this project and thank you for sharing it with us. I imagine John is very happy with his car and with having the documented video series of the restoration.
What a beautiful car. 👏👏
To avoid shorting out the battery with a wrench while removing it, always take the negative side off first (on a negative earth car, reverse for positive earth.)
I had one. Modded nicely and a labor of love. I miss it
I’d put the air cleaners on before doing the plug checks because they restrict air flow enough to richen the mixture, particularly when connected to the evaporative canister.
It was bittersweet seeing John head out the driveway in his lovely TR6, but it's time for him to enjoy the car and all the work that has gone into it! 👍
Yes the mixture screw is just for idle. The main jets can be changed for optimum mixture at normal road speeds of (say) between 2000 and 3000 rpm for instance. (The main jet values are normally numbered on the side of the jets for easy selection).
Great job, you have done it all and it looks and runs fantastically well and because of your videos many more people will be able to do similar to their projects because of this. Thank you, congratulations.
Great job. Congratulations. A no longer RUSTY beauty. But definitely a BEAUTY.
Thanks, enjoyed it all.
Elin, Posdrawlenia! And now, it is time to enjoy a beer, or two, or three, or four! lol
Brilliant resto-rebuild Elin.. It was great to see John drive it away and looking so happy . We'll all have to get used to not seeing it now.
Fantastic finished project, kudos 👏 😊
i like the engine bay, very professionaly done ,, the carbs ,the rad the chrome before and around the rad super congrat to you Elin
She looks and sounds great John! Enjoy the drive!
Great work Elin
Hi Elin.
You have done a fantastic job, and John is a happy man.
By the way, i have one of those Weber on my Spitfire and it works fantastic.
We Brits know how to design and build a good car, at least we used to. I’m an MG man but even I have to begrudgingly admit that Triumph is a rather wonderful thing. Well done Elin & John. I remember this car making an appearance on the channel back at the place we won’t mention, been quite a journey. Now what about that GT6…..
Great renovation.
Just missing Union jack metal plate and logo TR6!
Tr6 is a beauty! Nice job! Easy for me to spend other peoples money but you should get an air/fuel setup for the Rusty Beauties garage.
What a saga! I'm sure John is all smiles and will be showing off his baby tomorrow. Will there be cigars?
John: “That’s why I’m not going to pay you.” Elin: (… nervous laughter!)
GT6 - let's get crack-a-lacking!
The concept of a British car being "finished" interests me, I am unfamiliar with it.
😂😊
Is fuel injection an option for these cars?
Not for “Federal” / North American sales…. dual Zenith Strombergs from factory. Standard Lucas PI everywhere else…..
You forgot something Elin, so I'll tell you but no one else ok?
The front vent doesn't close yet.
