- I know it was rhetorical rant, but I have to sympathize. Don't let the project stress your funds. You may dig yourself into a hole that may make final completion even further out than 2004, or may ne

- Thanks everyone one for your suggestions. I9m not going to buy another Triumph. For me its a simple code I think. 1 wife, 1 home, 1 triumph. Its served me well so far. I9m going to push forward but t

- That's a little disconcerting, considering the effort you're putting into a GT6 resto. They're no bigger, you know, and they have 94,000,000 miles less headroom... It does in UK too (although only to

- Ah, but my GT6 has a much smaller steering wheel which helps. Plus she has a roll bar in the spit, pushing the seat forward. I think I might go outside and do some more work :) I'm sure once things s
