Great documentation on your restoration work, my 71 TR6 is a bit worse than yours, but like you I only have my little garage to work in so a body off will not be possible at this moment. You have given me motivation to continue where I left off… thanks.

Thank you for the time,effort and empathy you put in to this post.My recently purchased ‘72 TR6,with which I am still unfamiliar as to its idiosyncracies, has the original oil fittings.The,rich,beauiful black oil suggests the last time it enjoyed an oil change was 1972.I can’t fix or even tinker on cars but i like to do do the simple basics,with help of a manual( or Manuel,if he’d help)and posts like yours.I haven’t blown up anything yet( no major ,heavy work).I at least know enough to look under the hood ESPECIALLY after having any car serviced at a garage as usually they forget or can’t be bothered to connect a wire,tighten this,leave newly installed,too long fuel line dangling 2 inches off the ground ,or worse.I found a piece of part of the or engine what I guess or hope wasn’t too important ,that “an expert” broke and left rattling around under the hood.And a pair of needle nose vice grips clinging on to a cable after I got home from the shop.I could go on and on.Good thing I’m not as careless or incompetent with my patients’ care as mechanics are with Joe and especially Jane Q Public.I guess they don’t have to be accountable to anyone,at least it comes accross that way.
So again,thank you for spelling out something as rudimentary as an oil change to an ignoramous like me.At least I’ll know what to look for if I whimp out and can’t do it myself and take it to the garage.

I had the same problem w/ a rusty frame. When re-securing the body to the frame, I was unable to get the fenders to line up properly. As it turned out the frame was so rusted that it gave way everytime I tried to shim the body. Solution, get a hold of Tony at RATCO (tony@rat-co.com) and have a new frame manufactured. You won’t be disappointed. He advertises in the Classic Motorsports Mag. good luck

Clever chap. He made me look more favorably at the blockiness. Albeit, I’ll stick with my GT6!
