I like those back boards. good idea.
Looking really good Elin,John is lucky to have you working on his car.
I think I’m the 1st to comment! She’s looking real Elin. I can’t wait to drive her home.
Elin watching you install that interior brought back memories of me doing the same on my 76 TR6 a few years back. I have my own upholstery sewing machine so I made my own door panels and carpet. When I bought the car it had been sitting out in the open in California for 20 years. Seats and floors were rotted out. Found some 1969 seats and restored them and welded in new floors. It's a beautiful red overdrive car now and runs like a top. I did a diy electronic ignition triggered by the original points type distributor. Thanks for doing these great videos! By the way, when I installed the windshield with new rubber I got to the point of pushing that stupid chrome looking plastic piece into the windshield rubber. Finally cussed it out thoroughly and omitted it. That's the only thing in the whole project that got under my skin.
I am happy to see John's car coming together so nicely. I am NOT looking forward to the day when I have to assemble my TR6 under dash parts.
Great job! I think I could live with that bonnet lartch problem. Thanks for the video, Elin.😊
Elin has always been the goat when it comes to upholstering. I bet his old Limo Company boss really misses him!
Elin please invite Dave round to do one of his famous broth soups live while you are working on the cars. ( That was a great episode about three years ago now but I could almost taste and smell the delicious aroma through my I-pad screen ha ha!) Keep well buddy and best wishes also to Nic.
Yeah, we set a record ( blew the previous one out of the water ) for rainfall in July…car is looking great!
Just a thought...
It would be pretty easy to install a couple small switches near the top of the kick panels, one on either side, to be able to turn the interior light, door activation on and off, whenever it's wanted. That way there would be two switches in each circuit... the plunger type on the door that makes ground whenever the door is open, plus a 2nd, manually operated switch to break the circuit when it isn't needed or if the door is being left standing open.
I have one of those plastic gearbox covers for my TR4, ready to install... thanks for the fitment tips!
When I bought the car (in the late 1970s), it still had the cardboard cover. I fiberglassed that and made it work for many years... but it is starting to crumble.
The plastic cover I got is the one-piece type. I was considering modifying it to a two-piece, for easier access to the overdrive for maintenance and adjustments.
The Miata /MX5 is in the workshop out of the rain !
Same crap weather here in West Yorkshire up to a couple of days ago, hard to believe it was July. Car is looking great now Elin, and swearing is pretty much mandatory for under dash work.
26:28 At 6'3" and now in my seventies, I sure could've used the Jeepers Creepers under dash "ironing board" to lie on back when I could still contort my large frame enough to do such work, which was always torture for me. Only thing I would add would be some padding. I wouldn't be surprised if it was someone staring up under the dash, pain emanating from several parts of his body that dreamed up the automotive rotisserie mechanism. Side Note: Elin, is that you playing the piano?
😎😎😎👍👍👍nice
Those rubber transmission seals are a perfect example of the time-consuming over complicated jobs on these cars that could be so much more straightforward.
Elin, that sure must have been 'fun' laying on your back under the dash, poking around blindly with that screwdriver trying to trigger the hood release. That kind of thing is why God invented BEER! lol
Coming along really well...cussing and swearing is always required under the dash for almost any job.
Boys and gals: see Randall Williams “TR6 steel transmission cover”
....swear words are apart of growing up and dealing with stuff that doesn't care about you even if you are the pope....back in the seventies lot of us brothers owned British Leyan stuff..... twelve volt negative.... I owned a tr4a, we had bugeyed sprites, mgs, tr6s, sunbeams, we were just kids, our fathers thought we were nuts, we had all the girls....the hotrod dudes were mad....most of our cars were faster and more responsive than the america stuff....fun times....
Hello Elin, did you verify that bellow an center glove box used center bar to hold this.
Not a can of Stella in sight, I'm concerned Elin?
That even stressed me out as I watched while sitting on a comfortable settee with a can of Stella. Let me know if you run out of 'expletives' as I have a rare copy of the "1,000 Blasphemies Motor Engineers Reference Manual" which has some bonus words written on the inside cover as well. 😅...
Hi Elin, can you send me the link or tell me the name of the video that shows you installing the air ducts on a TR6? Thanks
Zoom zoom 😅
