[TR] Ouch! It's beautiful.

Jerry,
Doing the upholstery isn't that bad to do. There's a link on my main site
page to the "VB Guide to re-upholstering your TR6"  that gives you  step by
step instructions. Of course after getting the paint and chrome bill what's
one more bill! You could have a shop do it too. 

Good Luck

Good evening all,

 I visited my 1972 TR6 in the body shop today. She's turning out beautiful. 
The five coats of clear over the damson color are being sanded and
polished..

 I dropped the bumpers off at the chromer and was greeted with a $1065 bill.

Yikes. No sense in putting dull bumpers back on a shiny TR, huh?

 Next is a new top and seat upholstery. I know it's been a long time. I
promised my old uplolstery to someone on-list to use as templates. I haven't
forgotten. Once I have my car back and buy the seat foam, I will start the
upholstery. That is one job that I think is a stinker.

 It's getting exciting. I can hardly wait (for everything except the bills!)

 I have always said she will be ready for the spring. I just never said what
year. Now I know which year.
