TR6 restoration progress

So, I've been restoring an old Triumph TR6 sports car in my spare time.  It's been a very time consuming but educational experience.   I'm getting very close to the point where all I will have left is the body work, and then once the body work is done and the body mounted, the electrical and interior.  Here are a few progress pics.

I just got mounted the oil cooler with in-line thermostat, the chassis cross member, replaced all the hardware on the engine with new nuts and bolts, and refurbishing the rear differential.  Tomorrow I should be mounting the differential, and then measuring for a new drive-shaft.




Now, I'll have to take back off the intake manifold to get the body back on, but I wanted to get everything in place so that I can get all the hoses measured and cut to size for coolant, exhaust, fuel, etc.


The rear differential has been freshly painted, and is just waiting for paint to dry before mounting with new bushing.
