finally got round to posting a pic of my GT6, this was a few weeks ago when it arrived at home. The body was held on by 2 bolts so that is now off. the chassis is now sorted as this had mostly been fixed already. the body is now on its side for a small amount of welding. then it will be a reassemby job. It takes up so much space when it is in bits. Its so nice to buy a half restored car as it saves so much cash.

Very nice - same colour as my Spit
Is it Sapphire Blue? That's the original colour of my TR6 too, but when I had it resprayed I had it done in Audi LZ5T Europa Blue, which is a similar colour but pearlescent metallic.
Enjoy the restoration.
Not eto self: Must buy bigger house.
Its one of the last ones, registered in 1974. which i guess means it was built in late 1973. It has a non rotoflex rear end, like the spitfire 1500. but it still looks very strange to me. although the people who know say it works ok, I am not too sure. can't wait to drive it and find out.

Must buy smaller house with bigger garage.
House with garage full stop would be nice.
The swing-spring GT6 set-up is fine, never had any really scary moments with it (probably wasn't trying hard enough) and much easier to look after than the Rotoflex set up.
I love the GT6. Almost bought one once. Bought an MGB instead, because I didn't fit comforably in the GT6.
Good luck with it!
No longer am I the person with the roughest looking car on PistonHeads!

In reality my engine looks terrible...
I'm not doing a ground-up restoration though.
(not yet, no space, no time)
I'm just making the car technical ok, so it's safe and reliable. And had the front wings and front of the car renewed because is was so rusty.
Now it has to be painted and assembled again.
I hope to do it right in about two to three years though.
Edited to say: got any more pictures of your GT6?

why didn't the picture show what command did I miss. it showed on the preveiw. But not when I used tye forum code from imageshack so I used the direct code which worked in the preview.?
The preview request is handled in a manner which allows HTML in your post to be parsed by your browser, but once you submit a reply HTML is zapped by Ted's code to stop people playing silly buggers. Really, the preview request should zap HTML as well...
To post a picture on PH you do
[pik]http://url.of.your.picture[/pik]
only you use "pic" instead of "pik".
