Triumphant Triumph TR6 NZ.

**Aaryn NZ** · 02-26-2015, 03:11 AM

Hey guys & gals.

This one is for my good buddy BillE.

Bill is a bit broken at the moment. Busted up his shoulder, which he partly blames on getting old, I think because Bill lives where it snows WAY too much & moving all said snow is sure to wear out at least one shoulder is more like it!

Hopefully this will put a smile on your dial Bill.

Here is a Triumph TR6 I detailed today. Sorry - I didn't capture any before photo's, as you can see in the background of some of the pictures, I had a grape harvester to do today also.

The Triumph national show is in town this weekend & I had the pleasure of detailing this TR6 for the show & shine tomorrow.

The car was driven from Christchurch, 300+ kilometers south of here, in the rain as well. Under side was washed down, paintwork decontaminated, nanoskin etc & 2BM washed.

Paint was in okay condition over all, with a few "lazy painter" sanding marks here & there, some RIDS on the boot lid, bonnet & what I am guessing - some marring from mechanics or the owner leaning over the front guards working on the engine.

A few swirls but nothing to excessive & for a repainted car the paint was relatively soft.

Polished with Flex, equipped with white LC Hybrid & M205. Topped with D156.

Picture time, enjoy -

Cool cloud formation reflection on the boot . . . or trunk as I learnt you guys in the States call it.

Just a "fun" shot of the bonnet up . . . or "hood" I think it was?

Thats ME giving the ol thumbs up.

Thank you everyone for looking, & Bill - hope that eased the pain for a bit mate.

Nice job! Looks like brand new.

Car looks lovely bud....thanks for sharing

May I ask what the grape harvester will have done to it? In other words, what does a detail on a piece of equipment like that entail?

Outstanding Aaryn! That blue paint shimmers now. Nicely done!

I cant stop looking at that old Triumph. Looks proper.

An absolutely beautiful example of a TR6. I've always loved these. My first roadster was a '78 Spitfire (just before the full rubber baby buggy bumpers), but I've always had a special place for the TR6.

Awesome job!!

One word...SWEET!

What year is that puppy?

Is the 'grape picker' next?

OK, if you won't accept age, how about just being a klutz?

Thanx for pics...

Bill

Wow, I guess that has been restored (lazy painter comment) because as other posters said it look like brand new, considering it's probably going on 40 years old. Anyway, great job!

Beautiful job on the Triumph. I have an old Jag, so I know "boot" and "bonnet".

That was my dream car in high school. Would love to get one now, if I saw one that nice for sale it would be hard to pass up. Super Job, as always.

I thought you might like this one Bill.

Yep - that grape picker was next . . & done now. About to head to work soon, just after 6am here & have another harvester coming in today. that one is only a small one - todays is the BIG version.

I dunno Bill . . . klutz . . maybe but the snow would be the major contributor me thinks.

I still can't understand how anyone can survive in those temps . . . not even long enough to hurt themselves.

Thank you Bill.
