Gee, it's been a month. Some progress!

I didn't realize it's been almost a month since I last posted. Must have something to do with spending a week at the beach and having a 13-month old running (!) around...
But yes, there has been some 'Triumphant' time as well. Progress includes:

Standard TR6 tranny has been disassembled, cleaned, and rebuild parts ordered. The internal components of the tranny are the nicest I've ever seen. I almost didn't have to replace the countershaft (!). However, someone in the TVR's history must have loved to hang their hand on the shifter when in fourth gear, because the shifter fork is really, really worn. One's been ordered from TRF, along with many other items.

Front struts, brake drums and shoes, and numerous other eBay purchases have been received and prepared for installation. I'm happy to say that everyone I've dealt with on eBay for parts for this car has been super.

As you can see, there's plenty of parts on the car...just not INSTALLED on the car!

As a side note, we in North Carolina are very proud of our 2006 Stanley Cup Champion Carolina Hurricanes! I admit freely to watching games rather than working on the car... :-)
