I was building this for my dad but now his health is an issue and he doesn't want it back. It's only taken me 2 years to get this far, mostly due to the accident but she is getting there. Due to my step niece who ran into the back of the car and shoved it into my dads house things had to be fixed. I cut out the back panel and welded in a new one. The front bonnet nose needed about 40 hours worth of work to get it fixed with as little filler as possible. Here are the photos. Getting better. Seats are done and in but I don't have a photo of them. Ok it's a bit bright but is calming down and I have 2 more coats to go after wet sanding. Not bad but I still have some parts I have to find! |

My goal was to learn on this one then get a TR6 for me! Both my daughters have attached them selves to this one and named it Mini Blue! So it stays and the TR6 will wait. |

aaahhh a TR6, that would be nice, ive seen a couple TR4s around here that would make a decent project, if i only had any talent. |

The time was while the kids were at school and since the accident I have some time. I'll work on it for about an hour a day and then thats about all I can do. It is a big issue with the gun money and car money. The gun money does take away too much car money as I have 2 other car projects after this one. My 65 Mustang is next unless my father in law is ready to work on the 29 A. But again the gun money takes alot away! One of these days I'll have to focus on the cars as the kids get to driving ages. |
