Not a damn thing. Just a Macanudo, then a Montecristo, a pale ale, a 75 degree day, a sunset and a garage full of fun cars. Got to stop and smell the roses before work tomorrow.

Social distancing project. The pitting on turn signals and fog lights has bugged me since I got the car. Not perfect but much better.

Default Road trip...

I figured with all the new stuff in the car I should take it out for a little drive and so as to be responsible I'd make a pizza run. I really like Rocky Rococo pizza which is now only located in WI. So I planned a route to New Berlin WI via IA.



503 miles later I picked up my pizza.

Didn't do all of this work today, but installed it all today. I think that counts

After installing the numeric shifter last month I thought it was sad to hide it under the stock shift boot...
So I bought the shift trim from a Tip 997, took off the gear selector piece, extended the top forward about two inches and then flocked it.

Then worked with WC Lathe Werks on a Titanium shift **** and shaft. I had them extend the shaft another inch lower because I wasn't running a boot and I wanted it to completely cover the metal shaft of the shift lever.

Its good. Way better than stock. Little better than factory short shift. Worth the money? Probably

Yep, it's my dream shop but the ironic part is now that I have the money and time, I don't do as much work out there as I should.

The car is a '72 TR6. It's been in the family for about 40 years. My uncle had it for the last 35 years and retired so I bought it. After a brutal experience with a TR250 when I was in college, I vowed never to buy another British car, but the family discount on this one was too strong to pass up. My wife dislikes all of my cars except for this one. Go figure.

Hell if I know why these are rotated?

Those look nice! Are they replacement OEM or aftermarket? I'd like to order a set as well - my original ones are worn looking.

Thanks. Here is the info on them...

Good people to deal with. Pricing is very reasonable, especially given the high quality.

Well it started with new rotors and pads

then decided to powder coating my calipers

then rebuilt my calipers with a RacingBrake kit (great quality)

then changed to Eibach Springs (Thanks to all that contributed to TheBruce thread on changing them out. Really pretty easy) Pelican Parts has them on Sale...
yes I know the cup washer is upside down. It was corrected before the struct assembly went back in


Front done

Waiting on rear bushings. They looked worn out once I got a look at them

No pics, but I fixed my sunroof motor and changed the oil while I am waiting on rear strut bushings and bump stops
