ATTAK Z

I owned mine (and used it as a daily) for almost 7 years. I'd still own it now if it hadn't started to use copious amounts of oil ... great cars !

Design reminds me of the E-Type Jag dash

Miłego dnia i bądź bezpieczny ;)

I was able to book an Asda delivery just now for the first time in a month !

I washed two cars today One was black and one was blue, OK ? I might do another tomorrow And that's blue too Do you follow ? Think I'm going lockdown loopy

REPLACE TWIN HORNS This turned out to be more difficult than anticipated ... the first job was to remove the Radiator cowl - two nuts and a couple of screws, all easily accessible: This revealed one of the horns on the LHS below the rad overflow bottle: It turned out that this one was still working and difficult to remove so I left it in place. Now the other one, the one that was not working, was obviously on the RHS underneath the air filter: So I removed the air filter (fairly simple) to reveal the duff horn: And forgot to take a photo - doh ! Anyhoo, the old horn proved impossible to remove so I left it in-situ and fitted the new horn above it and connected it up. SUCCESS I now have twin horns again, so I refitted the air filter gubbins and retired from the garage to have a well deserved glass of Tesco's best red.

Earlier today, local farmers delivering Easter Eggs to children ...

Local Chinese DIY Crispy Duck delivered this evening. Nomnomnom !

Did a bit of work on the TR6 today and then took her to get some food from the local pub

REMOVAL OF THE TR6 BADGE The badge is fixed to the front grill and the fixing is evidently accessible from the engine compartment. So the exercise involved the removal of the radiator shroud which has 4 fixings: Removal of the shroud revealed this ... ... this ... ... and this: So now we have access to the single screw locating the badge, and the 2 nuts which attach the enamelled badge to the chromed surround: I decided that the car would benefit from a new radiator shroud so I ordered one of those also.

FUTURE WORK 1) Replace twin horns (one is not working) 2) Renew seat belts (existing belts are static) 3) Replace window winder (drivers side is broken) Parts already purchased from Rimmer Bros 4) Replace windscreen wiper arms with chrome ones (existing ones are black and poor condition) 5) Replace sun visors (existing ones are poor condition and pax side mirror is poor condition) Parts ordered today from Rimmer Bros 6) Replace front TR6 enamelled badge (existing badge has enamel missing) Parts ordered today from Rimmer Bros

Thanks Chris, and BTW this thread is not just for me; I expect you'll be happy to help anyone with technical queries about all interesting cars. So come on folks let's get working on our cars and if you need help, post up here.

This just came up on PH ... excellent songwriting

I bought this: which goes here: using these: but I'll save that job for a rainy day

I bought my TR6 about 6 weeks ago ... I can't take credit for its condition, it was like this when I bought it So the first thing I did - Whitewall tyres: So then the car looked like this: I also bought this with a view to my trusted indy garage (where they do all the work on my cars) fitting it: Unfortunately, before they had time to fit this, lockdown came upon us so this job has not yet been completed and the other jobs I was asking the garage to do (new seatbelts, new twin horns) got put on hold. So now with @Keyser's help I intend to attempt to learn the skills of a master mechanic and do a bit of DIY on cars ... beats gardening anyway ...

Well, with your permission Chris, I'll start a new thread. My idea is that, being the good guy that you are, you'll be more than happy to help and advise on all things mechanical engineering to us guys who don't have your skills. So here we go ...

Great thread Chris ... be warned though ! I did a bit of fettling on the TR6 today. I might start my own thread. Ha Ha

I used to cut the wife's kids' and some other UK staff guys' hair when we lived in Nigeria ... Nigerian barbers can't do straight hair ha ha

Well that looks OK to me

Do you guys like pigeon pie ... I can supply the pigeons if you want ?

Looks nice @Andy_Muxlow

@sipar69 BTW, I wasn't self appointed ! ... and you're probably correct but who cares ? HAND

Well it's more of a village pond rather than a lake, but the ducks often have a waddle around our front garden this time of year, which is nice.

I'm so lucky in my circumstances during this self isolation period ... I took this photo 100 metres from my home this afternoon ... STAY SAFE EVERYONE !
