The axle seals on this TR3 were leaking a bit, and we can’t have a messy TR3. Parts are on order and then we’ll re-assemble.
Healey 5-Speed Complete
The Toyota 5-speed conversion suits the Healey well. In addition to the transmission work, we installed a new exhaust, replaced the needles and seats in the carburetors, checked everything over, and sent it back to the owner to resume prowling the Virginia byways.

TR6 Reassembly Continues
The steering column is in. The dash is, too. Bit by bit it goes back together.
Triumph Stagrolet
This Triumph Stag with a Chevrolet V8 is in for service. It doesn’t run. The fuel pump is one problem, so we’re starting there. We’re also replacing the speedometer cable and checking the alternator because it’s not charging. Once it’s running, we’ll see if anything else is a problem.
The Stagrolet.
What “hybrid” used to mean.
Return Of 1973 TR6
Back on November or December of last year, this TR6 came in:
1973 TR6 in for some work.
The original post is here.
I love new paint!
Green once again.
Chip has already installed a new dash pad.
Dash Support
Dash panel refinished by the owner.
The Red Range Rover Looks Better
Looking at the site, I saw that I didn’t show the Rover after the heads went back on and the engine was re-installed. Pardon me. I do have a photo of the block in place with the heads on, though all the accessories aren’t hooked back up. Take a gander, if you please.
Don’t you love clean stuff? I do.
Healey 5-Speed Continues
Dean has the 5-speed in place on the Healey. Slow and steady wins the race.
TR6 Is About Ready
I forgive you if you’ve lost track, so I’ll remind you that this car came in for a 5-Speed conversion and head work. The original story is here. As soon as the parts man arrives, Dean will finish setting everything up and it will be time for test driving.
Old Car Patina Is All The Rage
Patina sure is a popular thing to discuss these days, and this Austin-Healey had it before anyone cared. It looks like it just drove and drove. It’s here just long enough to get a five speed so it can turn around and drive some more.
Triumph TR6 – Ran When Parked
This car came in by tow truck, and used to run. Old gas that turned to jelly and clogged the jets seemed to be the major contributing factor, but there may have been others that I failed to catch while failing to pay attention. It runs now, I do know that.
