Triumph TR6 Restoration Part 15 Preparing And Painting The Engine Bay.
Here I degrease the engine bay in preparation for painting. Then go onto painting the block with heat-resistant paint

Johnny. The tr looks great now. I have owned mine for 43 years but you have done more to yours in a few months than I have with mine in 43 years. Keep it up! Mark

Thanks Mark.
I think if I had my own garage I'd be taking 43 years too. Being that I'm either in my sons or my brothers garage, I feel like Im being a burden.

Absolutely brilliant mate….what a transformation. I know you will be looking forward to all of the detail to come…as are we!

[@treetopspider]

You and I both have an obsession with tiny details, but thats the bit I enjoy the most. You need to come down and spend the day with me 😄

Hello Johnny,
You must be very pleased with how the engine bay is looking… Using the seam sealer was a good call in my eyes. Take care. Looking good ! Great! This TR6 is going to awesome when done, Wow, it's really coming along nicely! Great job!

[@treetopspider]

Thank you Artemus. This was the biggest transformation yet. I'm excited about finishing off the engine bay

[@jessasto947]

Beautiful job mate, very well done! Artificially, you're nearly as goofy as me with respect to the sequence of steps followed! ;)

Thanks Paul. I'm trying to keep it to specification but the joined panels without some sort of sealer was a flaw. or probably not invented yet.

Wow, it's really coming along nicely! Great job!

[@treetopspider]

I'm chuffed with the result😄

[@demetrisdemetrious8702]

Its going to be one of those cars that nobody wants to drive and get dirty hahah

[@tomtugboat]

Looking good !

[@treetopspider]

Thanks Thomas

Looks very good and worth the effort to do. I did the difficult half of my engine bay paintwork last winter and will do the easier front half this winter. I had to remove a lot of parts to do this but am pleased with the result.

[@treetopspider]

It was a job and a half but yes, definitely worth the effort.

[@georgeryan603]

Great progress….

[@treetopspider]

Thanks George, I'm getting there

Looking really good. Same colour as mine just love Mimosa

[@treetopspider]

Best colour!!!

I have been told not good practice to put new chain on old sprockets.
Worn teeth will wear the chain quickly.

[@treetopspider]

Hi Steve, Ive not heard of that before but it does make perfect logical sense. Although, when I inspected the sprockets, they showed no signs of wear as I was prepared to change them both to begin with.
