Catching up with Tush Elin the race is on lol.. I hate doing body filler but after all the welding and grinding it makes for a nice change.. It will look better than factory in that engine bay, well done fella..
I just love watching these beauties get a second lease on life. I’d be honored to own one that is the recipient of your craftsmanship. Keep up the great work. Just love your videos. I always look forward to the next one.
Perfect timing on this video. I am working on my own project... a little 1965 Honda S90... and applied 'a little bit of body filler' to try to smooth out some factory defects on the rear fender and ended up making it worse. Wavy Gravy😞. Now I have to grind it off and start again. Learning.
Hi Elin. I was watching the 1974 TR6 series and in episode 45 you joked about the smell of thinners. Ik hope you used lots of protection because thinners is actually tolueen, a cyclic automate that is highly carcinogetic. I thought I'd mention it. Harry
Looking at the finisher piece, it appears that it is made wrong. Just because it was a purchase item, do not assume it is correct. Your work looks really good. Nice video, Jim
You said this car will be for sale. I'm curious about the price you'll ask, considering the huge amount of labour involved and the current value of TR6s. It's going to be a sweet car anyway.
nice work as always, that piece under the grill, i have 72 that i got in parts, but don't have that piece. ill need to check if the 72 tr6 had that.. the good thing about the car is that it is incredibly rust free. a stalled project that i got the wife of the previous owner bought him a completed car.
Once this TR6 is finished, nobody can drive it anywhere very much, too risky, too valuable, what if it gets in a shunt because some other maniac driver was careless. We must build an Elin Yakov TR6 museum. ;-)) Ben
I have owned an ear 1969 TR6 built by Triumph Standard and a 1974 built by Leyland. The build quality of the 1969 was far superior to the 1974. For example the quality of the gauges, the welting in the rear fenders, the seats, door cards and door pulls. Plus it breathed so much better and ran stronger
love watching you do the metal work...I always learn something new that I want to try on the GT6....keep them coming!!!
I'm glad I'm not the only one who has to modify parts to get them to fit. :-) I learned from the best
Excellent job. Loved seeing that grill go on. Thanks for another great update.
More good progress, nice to see the handsome grille in place, ticking off those significant jobs on the way to primer !

I think Elin needs to come help me get further ahead. 😎
Love watching you work Elin, not just the before & after shots :)
Great job Elin, Always fascinating to watch your techniques.
Cheers, Jeff.
Great work Elin.. I like the way you continually like to improve all that you do.. and your conscienciousness

Nice work! It's looking better all the time!
Well done Elin, always exhausting working in tight corners but looking good. Kind regards, Richard.

Niceee work , thx for the video great one 👍
It's looking really nice Elin. I wonder if that front trim piece was the wrong angle from the factory - otherwise the grill wouldn't have fit so well.
Wondering what you use for rust converter?
Those fender ridges are from the pressing I think
15:00 lol 70s British craftsmanship! Not our finest hour....
