Oh you'll get the job, the car likes you and will do whatever it takes to keep you.

I'm the worst pilot ingame ya know!!!

It's all unrealistic crap requested by people who want pie in the sky actions performed without an understanding of how things work and who can't grasp reality.

Decision might have been taken out of my hands  :D Got a job interview on Tuesday 6th, for an IT Specialist - if I get that, slow time restore is definitely on, gonna get her done so I can have it as a weekend/fun car for myself.

gl with the job, and I'm sure you'll make a better job of the resto than Top Gear US did :D



It sold for $395,000 and it looks like the new owners now have it in it's original racing livery.

I used to own a '62 TR4

I have a GT6, working on a 'street legal race', I know the feeling. But you have to know what you have and not get crazy pretenting  :old: She's going to be a fun car, listening the 6 cylinders revving while negociation a fast curve hanging on for your life ... while young buck will pass me at twice the speed in his STI, driving with one hand and sucking on his 7/11 slurpy. Old classics come in many shape and form but each has it's unique ability to steal a smile out of your face.

Here's that bucket for now, just got her to run, temporary dash and all.

That one has power windows and the original carpet as well as other comfort items you wouldn't think to find in a limited production factory race car.

Looks like a "Moby Dick" behind that one.

very nice, sounds pretty healthy :aok always fancied a GT6, the fastback is a great looking shape and practical. I also had a '67 Mk.III spit, the scuttle shake was pretty bad (although better than the TR), I imagine the roof stiffens the GT6 up nicely. I must dig out some pics of mine :)

Depends on whether you like it, or if it is just an investment.

If you like the car, the pleasure you get out of restoring and driving it will have more value than ROI.
