British invasion, The ’73 Triumph

After declining to rebuild my neighbor Wendy’s Triumph TR6 for a few years because I was too busy building these old trucks, she finally approached me with an offer I couldn’t refuse. “Give me $250 and send another $250 to my favorite charity, and it’s yours.” Thus began a two year rebuild… not at the Barn but in my garage.

My plan for this narrative is to post plenty of pictures.

Short drive in the TR6 on a nearby twisty road.
