1966 Triumph GT6 - Part 4 - Stripping All Over 

When I was looking for a GT6 I probably looked at 15 cars all over the US. What I learned is even “rust free” cars all have rust and they all rust in the same places. It’s only a matter to what degree. The repairs to a rust bucket or the “rust free” car are mostly the same which is why your rusty beauty is just as worthy for restoration as a “rust free” car and now my new rust bucket. That’s the value in your videos. Thanks for your effort.

Lovely to see you restore these great little cars with such enthusiasm and affection. I suspect it may be as much a labour of love as a way of making a living for you.

Great to see you back on a GR6!!! I own and in the beginning stages of a TOTAL “frame off” restoration, a ‘67 MK I. I love it!!! Rebuilding the total drivetrain, the frame is back from the “frame shop” and, it is now powder coated.... i’m going to powder coat everything I can with the exclusion of transmission differential engine block because it’s just not practical. I am however going to powder coat the bottom of the oil pan, on the engine. Currently the body tub hatch and doors are all being acid dipped for stripping can once those are back going to epoxy prime them. You’ve been quite an inspiration, and because of your videos I’ve decided to purchase and restore my own project. I’m learning a tremendous amount of techniques and not afraid to tackle any other projects or sub assemblies, attributed to your tutorials!! So to that cheers Erin!!! And thank you for the guidance inspiration and tutorials by all means continue on I’m archiving everything!!

Wow first comment. One suggestion for that line in the roof is to place a small sandbag on top and then gently tap the dent from the inside of the roof. The bag acts like a dolly.

Riveted sill!🤔🤨🤣 Hope you're back on your feet soon. Cheftush should be able to get in and drive it now you have removed the seats.

When you went to lite the cigarette I panicked....then the explosion! Well done, you got me.

I am sort of your leg injury, but glad we are getting more of your videos!

Can’t wait to see the patch panels being fabricated. That takes experience and talent, and you are an expert.

The bondo work on this car......wauw 😊 thx for the video great one 👍🚗

That's the crazies exhaust hanger I've ever seen

Having fun watching this, Elin. I'm sure this is the car I was negotiating on about 5 years ago, and came very close to purchasing. Had interesting conversations with the owner about how he had brought out over from Germany. It's interesting to see what you are uncovering as I had been wondering then what it would look like underneath. 👍

Stella!!........GOOD MAN!!

What was the ending?? When did you hurt your foot??

It is a good reminder of what rust damage can occur over 40 years and also that a shiny coat of paint might just be that..... no substance just shiny!!! Kind regards, Richard.

I swear I could smell the filler (bondo) as you stripped it away!

She’s a beauty!

Wow you are so lucky to have the ability to do the dirty work outside. I couldn't and boy what a mess in the garage, it goes everywhere. So when I'm done the garage gets an overhaul.

Well i had my finger's crossed for you as i watched in expectation of what you were going to find under those wheel arches , looks like your going to have a clean sweep with the door's looks pretty cool, looking forward to seeing those arche's rebuilt, p.s had about half inch of filler over mine too lol

I didn't check all the other comments but I think the roof was creased by someone trying to reverse out of a garage with the tail gate up. OOps! BTW, that is a patented anti static exhaust hanger, very rare. Link below?

Hi Elin. This is going to a very time and money consuming job. But as always you'll get the job done i'm sure. Thanks for the video.

Hey! It takes a lot of work to make Bondo look THAT good. He must have had a lot of experience. Maybe it’s because MIG welders weren’t as available when those repairs were done?🤔🤔

So that's what they mean by "Smoking kills"... Whoda thunk it?

Wow. That Bondo is scary. Way too much. That passenger rear wing is so far gone, your probably better off replacing it than repairing, there's no telling how badly it's rusted on the inside. Also, if you need plastic hinge cover for the dome light just holler. That one looks cracked.

Thanks for your videos, truly inspiring! Could you tell me what is the capacity of the compressor you're using with the pneumatics tools?

Hi Elin, love your videos! Keep them coming. Good luck with recovering from your leg injury! Can you please tell me what brand of ‘Rust Converter’ you use? Stay safe! Martin

Are replacement floor panels available and are they to costly?

I don't think I've ever seen such a bodged car, it's a shocker. I am confident you will make this car special again but I can't help wondering why your friend didn't involve you in the purchasing process considering your vast knowledge of Triumphs?

7:52 “always forward first, even if for an inch.” I own a 1967 GT6, and was wondering if you could explain why I need to do this (because I haven’t on any manual, unless by accident.)

Dear Elin Why with a beautifull fiber body and bonnet don't you do an amphicar wiht 6 cylinder 😂😂😂

You had me fooled with that cigarette (was gonna write fag) that means something different either side of the pond I think!! Hope your foot is ok now, did Rusty bite it? Good luck from Spain!!

So much flipping ......filler !
