I'm new to this list and to British cars. I just bought a 76 TR6 over the
weekend with a very straight rust free body and 62K original miles. It has
been parked for the last 12 years. It was started a few times a year and
driven forward and backward a few feet each time. The engine runs great with
no smoke but the brakes are zero. I am wondering what all needs to be done
before it can be safely driven. I plan on a complete brake job including
wheel and master cylinders, rubber hoses, calipers, linings, etc. I also
plan on replacing all the radiator/heater hoses (some leak). And I will
replace the fuel, fuel filter and all rubber fuel hoses. And I will change
all fluids in the engine, tranny, and rear axle, and lube all the fittings
and grease the front wheel bearings. I allready replaced the tires.
Is there any other things that I should replace or check before driving it
so I don't ruin anything or kill myself.
Thanks.
