a friend has a 74 TR6, which he bought new. parked it about 1987 in a =
barn, and we are now in the process of resurrecting it. it is in =
reasonable shape; it was an Illinois car and there is some surface rust =
on the body, but nothing horrendous (now it is safely here in Texas). =
the interior is also in reasonable condition. of course, if this car =
were on ebay there would be =E2=80=9Cno rust=E2=80=9D and the interior =
would be =E2=80=9Cexcellent.=E2=80=9D
so far, so good =E2=80=93 the engine turns over nicely by hand! yes, we =
are taking it slow; we want to preserve this car; it has about 70k miles =
on it and is pretty original.
we have run into an interesting snag =E2=80=93 the trunk won=E2=80=99t =
open. by looking at my 72, it appears the trunk is unlocked =E2=80=93 =
the larger part of the opening for the key lock is on the bottom. we =
can=E2=80=99t turn the lock with the key, and can=E2=80=99t push it in. =
lightly tapping with a mallet does nothing. pushing up or down on the =
trunk lid does nothing.
any thoughts/comments/direction?
just for the story =E2=80=93 he has recently retired here in Texas to be =
with the kids and grandkids, and noticed me driving my TR6 around. he =
actually lives across the alley and over one from me!
