Yes it was rather ingenious. I think it got more attention than the car did with the guys from the local British Motoring Club. When he finished the work he disassembled it and sold it to another British car club guy to use on his own restoration.

What’s going on back here with the box fan and what looks like a wood lathe?
In addition to two TR6’s, I had a GT6+. I saw this one, when I was looking for an M54 engine to buy. Cannot believe how small it was. The body and frame were rusted terribly.

LOL. He bought a 1950's ShopSmith and recommissioned it back into usable condition. That's his homemade dust hood and the fan pulls the dust from the lathe out the window. He's into turning wooden bowls with it recently.
The GT6 is one of my favorites. Growing up our neighbor's son had one in gold. Always loved the look of that car.
