Project TR6
I figured I would share a few pictures of my 1974 Triumph TR6. I did a mild to moderate restoration around 11 years ago (which is why I look so young in some of these pictures, haha). I still have this car and it still drives great! Unfortunately I didn't do a god job of taking pictures to document this project, but here are a few that I found on my laptop.
I picked it up for cheap in this condition:
The only good thing was it didn't have any real rust to speak of, which makes body work a lot easier.
Building the engine:
I went with some mild performance modifications including milling the head for higher compression, a streetable cam, header, SU carbs, etc. Nothing crazy, but it made the car a little more responsive.
Here are some shots after the bodywork and paint:

Reason: spelling...
"Engineering is the art of modelling materials we do not wholly understand, into shapes we cannot precisely analyze so as to withstand forces we cannot properly assess, in such a way that the public has no reason to suspect the extent of our ignorance."
