Whenever you are thinking of a showdown with a minivan, pause to remember that you have the distinct advantage of intimidation. Most minivan drivers think twice before taking on what looks (and sound

Tom - you're thinking of the flag decals which marked the 50th anniversary of Triumph in 1974. I have heard stories about the BL badges being a favorite target of a disgruntled labour force who would

Al - it is certainly possible to troubleshoot the switch without tearing everything apart. Hoist the car, have a look at the switch and connections; check everything with your multimeter - maybe even

I once overheard a couple of guys from our fair province of Newfoundland discussing the outrageous price of a beer at a local club. One of them put an end to the discussion by saying "Ah, yes, but th

Jim - my dash suffered from the dreaded "cracked surface" syndrome which had affected both the coating and the top layer of mahogany veneer. There are many good reasons to keep a marine-grade plywood

Matt - you've covered a lot of the bases. I recently redid my engine which was bored out, cylinder head was shaved, and a hotter cam was installed. Installing electronic ignition (Pertronix) is commo

And besides all that, I think a shined up, restored brass PDWA looks cool. It never ceases to amaze me how many people spot that little doodad and comment on it. Rich C.

John - there is the bench-bleeding issue to address. But I'm one of those that has not had success with the Mighty Vac. I know I'm a duffus but the SBP (spousal brake pumper) works for me. Rich C.

While we're on the topic of the SBP, the process can be made much more interesting if the GAS pedal is pumped by mistake. The mental processes of elimination are truly put to the test in your quest t

Certain parts should be labelled: Made OF China not Made IN China. One of the things I've found surprising about the pastime of restoring a TR6 is the variability in quality of parts AND the pricing.
