  • The top I always wanted and had to wait 40+ years to finish it.

    I can't believe I am finally almost done with completely this project. Short version is this is my second TR6. My first TR6 was a 1971 and I was attempting to make a modified hardtop but never got to complete because I needed the money for school and had to sell my car. Fast forward 11 years ago and I found and picked up a 1976 TR6 to restore. During the restoration the hardtop idea kept tapping on the shoulder and I always wanted to complete what I did not get to finish. After four different versions (ripping a version back to basic and restarting) I finally am almost finished what I wanted to do. The rear window is removable and that and the T-Top panels fit in the trunk. Learned a lot because this was seat of my pants attempt.

      That is really a top (pun intended) notch mod! Would love to see more details.
      Great candidate for 6-Pack mag story.

        Far from perfect but still running, we're a good match.

          Nice Job. I dont think I would have the guts to cut up a factory hardtop.

              I like it, always wondered why they didn’t do that and skip the surrey rag top. More pictures please

                Looks like there's a hint on the wall behind the car!

                  I'm guessing it's a Lambo of some kind.

                    That's what I thought too. I did notice the poster of the Vette on the wall but the profile didn't seem to match.
