1974 triumph tr6 with factory overdrive. The car was subsequently stripped to the tub and the long road to restoration began. Any and all rust was cut from the tub and patch panels were fabricated, scribe fitted and butt-welded in. Starting with a solid car simplified this task significantly. Once complete the car was prepped for paint, and following multiple coats of epoxy primer it was sprayed in triumph signal red urethane. The sequence of painting was done in such a manner as to ensure that all mating seams between the fenders and the tub were primed and painted before the fenders were mounted, then the car received a full paint job on the exterior (the interior panels and under hood areas were done beforehand). While this created significantly more work i wanted to make certain that all portions of the body were well protected. The frame was stripped and painted, the suspension received the same treatment plus all new springs, bushings, spring pads, ball joints, trunnions, tie-rod ends, shocks, etc. The brake master cylinder, booster, and brake lines were replaced with new as was the clutch slave cylinder and clutch plate. I also installed a braided steel hydraulic line for the clutch slave cylinder. I installed new graded fasteners as i went along. As a precautionary measure i sent the radiator and heater core to the radiator shop for full cleaning, flushing, and pressure testing. The radiator was graded as marginal so i purchased a new aluminum unit. The original bumpers were sent out for re-chrome and look fantastic. It runs very strong, burns no oil, and showed new gaskets throughout when disassembled for cleaning. The odometer shows 9146 miles and the title shows “exempt” in the odometer reading section due to the vehicle being over 10 years old.
