I've got one for the list. The DPO of my 76 TR6 decided to make a
not-uncommon modification to the left inner fender arch in order to
facilitate getting at the oil filter canister bolt. But instead of
drilling a nice small, round, clean hole with a key hole saw, he just tore
it open with something like a can opener. The result is an ugly, torn
hole with metal peeled back. But, it IS pretty easy to stick a socket
extension through to reach the oil filter canister! Unfortunately, I
don't need that access anymore since I converted to a spin on filter! One
of these days when I finally do the "BIG" restoration, I am going to have
to fix or replace that inner fender sheet metal while I have the body off.
