- The last and actually only time I drove this car was when I put a seat on the rolling chassis and drove her in the backyard. Now for a first time in decades we will attempt to drive her as one piece. Will she drive though?

I’ve been waiting for ever to see her finally drive again. Thanks Elin I can’t wait to finally drive her 🍻
John - nice car!
@@iceman9678 thanks Iceman. I can’t wait to drive her. Keep tuned
Keep me in mind if you ever get sick of it. We're in the Pacific NW and the summers are a great time to cruise!
@@iceman9678 eventually I’ll have to sell her, so I’ll keep you in mind.
Elin, remove the cap from the master cylinder, put a plastic bag over the hole & refit the cap !
Regards,
Sandy 🔧🏴
All the parts falling from this car are of the finest British Quality!
Just sitting down to watch this one Elin !!! Thanks
So excited to see it drive and very well too. Looking forward to the next stage of this rebuild. Thanks
That's why they are called collector's cars, parts fall off, and you go back and collect them! 😅
Congratulations Elin.. I suspect that John is relieved to see his car back on the road. It's all downhill now.
Nice job Elin. The end of this project is near.
Whoa, she seems to run very well! She'll stop rattling when you put a few bolts in her. 😁 Thanks for taking us along.
Congratulations. I know you're as excited as John, maybe more. I remember the video of you driving it at the limo shop. Seems like an eternity ago. Can't wait to see the final product, finely tuned and ready for inspection.
James, it’s been in Elin’s hands for years. He’s making me a beautiful Rusty beauty. I can’t wait!
@@johnmalone407 And it won't be "rusty" anymore. :-)
Dear Elin, awesome as usual! If you want to minimize the amount of brake fluid thats dripping out of an opened brake line, you can press the brakes before you undo the brake line. That will close the brake circuit and the reservoir will be detached from the system. Remove the brake pads before, so you dont build up pressure in the system.
Thanks for your amazing videos, Jan
Looks great back on the road, even with a wee bit of work to be done! 😄👍
Another vote for Speed Bleeders! Once you use them, you will wish you had them on every car!
Nice to see her move on her own out of the corner of the shop, hopefully you can keep at it and have it finished before the end of summer. Then maybe Anna gets an hour or two of your time ( maybe not too) thanks for the video!
I was waiting to see if the hood raised up. When there is no air deflector and no hood latch, air will raise the hood above 50mph. I feel like you just delivered a baby. I know John must feel good to see her move again. Now, get it finished!
I feel great !
First 😉 Great to see another one back on the road!
Speedbleeders are great, I have them on my Triumph, in stainless steel, they really do work very well.
I think there were to sizes of pistons for different o-rings
The clutch pedal isn't attached to clutch master push rod.
😎
Hi Elin, if you were going to set this up again, would you change the position of the PDW so that it is flat against the fire wall with the opening facing up and the switch pointing out? Yes it’s not stock, but it would make future servicing easier. Of course you could only do that if you were doing a full brake line redo.
Thanks for another great video.
Nice,coming right along.keep on doing what you’re doing.great video 😎😎😎👍👍👍
This is why I did not become a mechanic, so I can work on MY cars, the problem then becomes that you still don't have time to work on your own cars! I thought OK, then I'll work on MY car when I retire, LOL, yes, now I've been working on my car for several months, but now it's harder to get good quality parts, logistics has deteriorated, so it takes much longer for parts to arrive, that's if they don't get 'lost" in the mail, plus, of course, I have less disposable income, AND my back hurts!
welcome to old age
@@knoxyish it still beats the alternative!
maybe its me but is it running on 2 down draught webers ??? surely 3 side draught weber dcoe,s??
Lots of choices depending on what and where you want your main power band to be. I think many ( just road going) TR6 owners just want a nice smooth reliable engine that gives about 125 bhp. Over here in the U.K. 80mph is probably the most you are ever going to do..
