- Hello, I haven't been on here in a while. I have a 54 TR2 (rhd) that I bought around 8 years ago. The car needs a total restoration. The sheet metal work was started a few years ago but then stopped,

- Joe, Sorry for late reply, out of town. I just spent well over 10K in parts, paint etc on my 72 TR6. I did all the work myself but the engine machining etc. You can restore it yourself just watch for
