Chip ran across a 1976 TR6 that had been sitting for a number of years.  I think 7 is the number, if I remember correctly.  The clear coat is peeling off, making the car look neglected.  Chip saw some things he liked about it, however, such as the Panasport wheels and the fact that, other than sitting, it looked to be pretty functional.  This would be a great moment to include a shot of the overall car if I had one, which, inexplicably, I don’t.  I’ll put it on the list. (Click on any of the photos below to enlarge them).

Here’s a shot of the front of our beauty queen.  Somewhere along the way, someone installed an aluminum gas tank, which helps much from a corrosion standpoint.  Chip removed the tank from the car, cleaned it, installed a new fuel line, cleaned the carbs, and  it started after all those years of sitting.

Above is the view during the gas tank cleaning.  The tank was out of the car at this point and is pictured below.

Future plans for this car call for some cylinder head work, a slightly more aggressive cam, and fuel injection.  Stay tuned for further updates.
