 I agree with Richard, it is too quiet here.
I somehow fell off the list many years ago but I am back (sorry).=C2=A0 The=
 TR6 was off the road for several years after a pending major frame failure=
 was discovered.=C2=A0 As much as I would LOVE to get a RATCO frame I don't=
 LOVE it=C2=A0 6G's worth.=C2=A0 A local club member who happens to be a fi=
tter/welder by trade offered to rework my frame so I disassembled the car a=
nd took the frame to him and after 7 months or so he rebuilt the main frame=
 rails from about the mid point right to the rear of the car.=C2=A0 He also=
 reinforced notorious week points such as the diff mounts and the attach po=
ints for the (aftermarket) rear sway bar.=C2=A0 He also handed me a 3-lb ba=
g of rust scale he extracted from inside the frame.
I spend an afternoon with prods and compressed air and removed some more ru=
st, then I treated the inside of the frame with Eastwood's frame rustproofi=
ng kit (I think I used two of them), painted the frame with POR15 (Note: PO=
R15 does a very poor job of sticking to old paint) and reassembled the car.
I set up a camera on a (cheap) tripod and took a picture.=C2=A0 I installed=
 the LF suspension and took a pic.=C2=A0 I installed the RF suspension and =
took a pic, front sway bar and took a pic, steering rack and took a pic... =
(you get the picture) so I now have a nice sequence of pictures of the car =
coming together.
The car has been on the road for a year now and so far I have 1) blown the =
diff and 2) blew a head gasket.=C2=A0 I drove this car for nearly 2 decades=
 with nary a problem but I guess my luck had run out.=C2=A0 Keep in mind th=
at this car has been to both coasts, Canada and up Pike's Peak so it is no =

Awesome report, Dave! Thanks! Today I planned to connect the new battery in
my TR6 project. But when I got to the shop (20 minute drive) I realized
that I had left all the freshly cleaned, decontaminated, and refinished
parts on the home garage workbench. So alas, another day delay but the
other cars did get their exercise. Headed back home now to replace that
other thermostat...

<br clear=3D"none">&gt; Awesome report, Dave! Thanks! Today I planned to co=
nnect the new battery in my TR6 project. But when I got to the shop (20 min=
ute drive) I realized that I had left all the freshly cleaned, decontaminat=
ed, and refinished parts on the home garage workbench. So alas, another day=
