    Gave jake a switch plinth today for your 73. Looking forward to seeing it all done and finished. Your vids will help me build my 70.

      Oh, yeah, that was some really fast reaction on your side. Thank you so much, John! It is almost done now. It will be on British Car Day show this weekend!

    I would say the consensus of your fans is that we could watch you everyday and wait for your videos like I said to Tush you guys should do a reality show together great stuff .

      I know, right? Tell him. He doesn't take the idea seriously :)

    Terrific to see another TR6 back on the road, problem is you're going to have a lot of trouble going back to the Spitty after driving the TR regularly. I can see a TR in your not to distant future. Now you're a proper sports car driver Elin it's two hands on the wheel at a "quarter to three". Best regards, Geoff from Merimbula Australia

    • @RustyBeauties

      LOL. I still enjoy my Spitfire. It is not the speed and HP I enjoy in these cars. I really like cruising and enjoying the wind on my face. I might own a TR6 soon yes, but my Spitfire still has a special place in my heart!

    Great channel and great work Elin, I'm envious. Be careful when using the top of your battery as a tool tray...

    Elin - @ 17:30 that looks like a Brit workshop - Discovery, TR6 and a GT6. All from the same BL lineage ...
    great progress on the TR of course. Not far to go now my friend ...

    Don't kid yourself Elin...We LOVE daily videos! you ROCK!!!! (first btw! lol)

    Amazing how many classics you see at shows, perfect paintwork etc then a pile of technicolor spaghetti all over the engine bay. I cheated and shoved wires through heatshrink tubing as I couldnt face taping them.

    • @RustyBeauties
      @RustyBeauties  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I always loved nice and tidy wiring. When I wire newly built limousines I try to keep them nice and clean, but I've seen such messes that it takes me hours to figure out what does what before I realize there is a blown fuse

    Nice slow and easy test drive lol

    • @RustyBeauties
      @RustyBeauties  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I know right.. I am glad I am not the only one seeing it that way

  • @RC-ms3fp

    Be sure to grease that prop shaft u joint while it's so accessible..ha ha

  • @crasbee
    @crasbee 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Elin, oh Elin, you broke your principle of always driving a little bit forward on 18:04, you started the car and engaged the reverse gear right away :P

    • @RustyBeauties
      @RustyBeauties  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I know right... I really don't know what was I thinking. LOL

  • @johna1160
    @johna1160 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Elin, was that just "ballpark" timing you went with when switching out the distributor? Glad you're installing transmission cover soon, your right elbow/forearm got within two inches of the fast spinning trans yoke.

    • @RustyBeauties
      @RustyBeauties  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah, I did proper timing at a later stage. My elbow was never closer than a foot from the shaft. It is just the camera angle.

  • @danielvincent6182

    Engine sounds strong- I vote daily videos..

    • @RustyBeauties
      @RustyBeauties  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      LOL, I wish I could do that.

  • @rickfletcher8389
    @rickfletcher8389 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Definitely not obeying the speed limits!!!😱. But sounds good!!

    • @RustyBeauties
      @RustyBeauties  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Cmon, it wasn't that fast. Watch it with muted sound :) it is more noise than speed

  • @tylerwerrin41

    Drive it like you fixed it. Then fix it again ;-)

    Time to do some serious shake down testing and get to the detailing stage

  • @Zincaloom
    @Zincaloom 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Looks like a fun car to drive. Same engine as your GT6?

    • @RustyBeauties
      @RustyBeauties  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      It is almost the same. the GT6 has lower stroke on the crank hence only 2.0L vs. 2.5L on the TR6 But it is virtually the same engine

  • @mikerla60
    @mikerla60 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    what kind of exhaust / mufflers do you have on that engine?

    • @RustyBeauties
      @RustyBeauties  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Just stock exhaust from Moss Motors

  • @cheftush
    @cheftush 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    And remember, you don't like TR6's....😎

    • @RustyBeauties
      @RustyBeauties  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Depends on the point of view :)

    • @RustyBeauties
      @RustyBeauties  6 ปีที่แล้ว
