We Have Lift Off !

One of the cool things about this project is all the great tools that a guy "needs" to do the work...like a engine hoist / cherry picker ! 

Ok, let's start lifting stuff !!

Another tool I couldn't do without is a good digital camera !  I've taken literally hundreds of photos of how the small bits and pieces go together.  I don't know how guys did restorations before the invention of a digital camera ; I sure couldn't remember how everything goes back together, and with digital there is no film to buy.

Frame Off Restoration....The Start !

May 2010,

Once I accepted the fact that a rolling restoration was not possible, it was a small jump to "let's do a complete  frame off restoration" !  I already had a lot of the car pulled apart, so it didn't seem like such a huge job to separate the body tub from the frame.

It's really pretty amazing how many parts are involved with even a simple car like the TR6...here is just a sample.
