Most of the work was fixing lots of stuck parts and dried out rubber, but it had some problems that had led to it sitting unused for so long that needed to be fixed. It's been an ongoing project to restore it, but it's a blast to drive, like driving a big go-kart. Certainly a tiny car; it weighs 1800 pounds, it's 11 feet long to the tips of the bumpers, and 4.5 feet wide at the tips of the mirrors!  |
Nice radiodave! I had a TR-4A when I was in high school. It was dark green and a 1966 rag top with spoke wheels. I wish I still had it. I am a big fan of sports cars. My older brother had an austin heely. Not sure of the spelling but it to was a 60's model I believe. (yellow) You have done a fantastic job on your little red toy. Be proud of it! I love it!
