This
Triumph TR 6 was brought to our care in October 2001 with right-front damage,
caused by a traffic accident. The front wing, bumper and headlamp were
lost and the right front suspension was broken. The
car shows heavy rust damage to the sills underneath the front wings and
also traces of corrosion to the rear wings so the owner decided to have
the car partially restored by
Piet Mozes Restorations.
After inspection, estimating the expected costs and informing the owner
(who wants a clean driver instead of a competition condition classic) we
decided to have the car undergo a "body on*" bodywork
restoration. (*This means the body will not be taken off the chassis.
This way a lot of work and expenses will be saved). This decision could
only be taken because the chassis is in immaculate condition.
This Triumph TR 6 was bought a few years ago advertised as a
"rust free Californian import car"...what we found stripping
the car was dramatic; copper welded sheet over bad parts and lots of
filler...
What was be carried out on
this TR 6; The interior floor panels and sills are renewed. All wings,
booth lid, rear deck and the entire rear side are renewed.
First all bad body parts were removed and the good metal was extensively treated
anti-corrosion. The metalwork was carried out, old paint layers were
removed and the body was smoothened,
painted and shielded against rust.
The car was rebuilt by the owner in our workshop with our advise and
help when needed. All new body- and other parts used in this restoration were
delivered by Imparts.
The entire project took six months to be completed.
Do not hesitate to contact
us in case you are planning to
have your own Triumph TR fully or partly restored...
to perfection...
