Basically, at best it would have everything you need except the wheels. TR4
wheels are a good inch narrower than those of the TR6, and this kind of
downsizing is not recommended. On a car that came to its final resting place
in a boneyard, one can assume that it was quite worn out; that probably
includes the wheels and the splined hubs. And getting them off could be a
major challenge, depending on how neglected the car was while "alive" and how
long it's been sitting there.
