<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1445602169635_14102">a friend has a 74 TR6, which he bought new. parked it about 1987 in a
barn, and we are now in the process of resurrecting it. it is in
reasonable shape; it was an Illinois car and there is some surface rust on the
body, but nothing horrendous (now it is safely here in Texas). the
interior is also in reasonable condition. of course, if this car were on
ebay there would be “no rust” and the interior would be “excellent.”</div>

<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1445602169635_14072">so far, so good – the engine turns over nicely by hand! yes, we are
taking it slow; we want to preserve this car; it has about 70k miles on it and
is pretty original.</div>

<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1445602169635_14106">we have run into an interesting snag – the trunk won’t open. by
looking at my 72, it appears the trunk is unlocked – the larger part of the
opening for the key lock is on the bottom. we can’t turn the lock with the
key, and can’t push it in. lightly tapping with a mallet does
nothing. pushing up or down on the trunk lid does nothing.</div>

<div>any thoughts/comments/direction?</div>

<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1445602169635_14070">just for the story – he has recently retired here in Texas to be with the
kids and grandkids, and noticed me driving my TR6 around. he actually
lives across the alley and over one from me!</div></div></div></div></div><br>_______________________________________________<br>Support Team.Net <a href="http://www.team.net/donate.html" target="_blank">http://www.team.net/donate.html</a><br>Suggested annual donation $12.96<br>Archive: <a href="http://www.team.net/archive" target="_blank">http://www.team.net/archive</a><br>Forums: <a href="http://www.team.net/forums" target="_blank">http://www.team.net/forums</a><br><br><a ymailto="mailto:6pack@autox.team.net" href="mailto:6pack@autox.team.net">6pack@autox.team.net</a><br><a href="http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/6pack" target="_blank">http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/6pack</a><br><br>Unsubscribe/Manage: <a href="http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/6pack/tpdwinch@yahoo.com" target="_blank">http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/6pack/tpdwinch@yahoo.com</a><br><br><br><br></div> </div> </div> </div></body></html>
