IMHO, $2000 will not buy you much. Even if you do all the
mechanicals (motor, g/box, brakes, suspension, exhaust), you
are looking at a minimum of of several thousands of dollars
in parts alone. For example, I bought my TR6 in 1991 for $4000,
and have since spent an additional $5000 in parts and labour (but
excluding the Weber DCOE40s and manifold that I recently purchased,
but that is another story :) reconditioning the mechanicals; I've
not even touched the bodywork yet, which has some rust in the
floorpans and one rocker, so the car looks the same (externally)
as the day I bought it......
But then again, maybe you are one of those gifted people who
can resurrect $2000 TR6s, and I hope you are, because a $2000 TR6
deserves to be saved and not parted out.
