You can buy another tub for less than the cost of repairs. I say scrap
it and
look for another.

Subject: [6pack] Scrap or save TR6 tub.
Ibm faced with a dilemma. I purchased a 69 TR6 as a parts car for the
rebuild of my 70 RHD PI that was severely damaged. Upon dismantling the 69 I
discovered that the tub is severely rusted and damaged. The inner/outer
sills, floor boards, spare tire pan, captured nuts & plates and foot wells
are
rusted through and need to be replaced/repaired. Also the rear end sustained
major damage and the repair was worse. The rear end is shifted about B= inch
to left and when they replaced the rear end, it was not aligned correctly b
they ended up using a 2 inch block of wood between the frame and rear body
mounts. It would take a lot of work to put it back together correctly. I
donbt have the temperament or money to have it done. I can salvage the
front clip bfrom the firewall forward but the rest is destined for the
scrap. But before I make a final decision, I thought I would query the list
to see what others may think.
Thanks,
David Stauffacher
