the TR6 is another car that I have always like the looks of .
the down side is the chassis on them is a very bad design then to top it off they cut the back bone out by having the trans tunnel removable .
I have two in my shop now .
a 1976 that a shop did a full resto on with a bent chassis then they hacked the hell out of the car to get the body panels on it . I pulled the body off the chassis and made jigs for the build table and straightened the chassis . it was low in the rear by 55mm and high in the front by 32mm .
they used hockey pucks for body shims in the rear .
because I built the jigs for the build table I got another one the customer is having us build for racing . we are building a tube chassis for this and it's getting some extra bracing to make the chassis more rigid . in the chassis design program I have it's 28 % more rigid then stock and 2LBS more in weight . that was the best balance between the two I could find .
