My newest set of wheels. Was having a difficult time getting the air/fuel ratio set (maybe that's why it was cheap) then I noticed that the choke cable was completely unscrewed and hanging down below the carb. Sort of out of sight out of mind I guess.

Sounds like my neighbor. Had one for 2 years still hasn't fixed the front brakes since the rear ones still work. Wish I had some land here so I could buy it.

Transmission wasn't shifting right so it got pulled and split open again this weekend. Went a lot faster this time lol. Found I put the 1st/2nd gear hub on backwards. Other than a chamfer on the inner diameter I don't understand what exactly the difference is. I'll get that fixed tonight but I'll have to wait on a part I ordered, chipped 5th gear (again).

Pretty much lol. Didn't think twice about splitting it open this time.

Having a trans jack helps a lot with pulling it off though.

Here's what I am working on.............
I haven't gotten it to the house so these pics are when I went and looked at.
It's a 1972 Triumph TR6. All the parts are in boxes on the shelves beside the car..
I've always wanted to do a complete restoration and this is a good solid starting point.
There goes the Mustang Mod Money but I believe the Mustangs are good just the way they are.
