This is my latest project. The GT6 is similar to the Spitfire, but with a 6 cyl
engine and a roof. It's a solid car, no rust, rebuilt engine, good interior. I've
rebuilt the braking system and clutch hydraulics, put in a new rocker shaft
and arms, rebuilt the carbs, and gave everything a good cleaning and waxing.
It's a great running car. Most of my time has been spent cleaning up and
painting the engine bay. With a bonnet that opens as these do, it's easier to
work on than most cars.

Oct. 2004. After almost 4 years I've had
my first major breakdown...very hard
shifting into first and second gears. Time
for a gearbox rebuild. Tearing the box
apart revealed that the inside gear of the
1st/2nd gear syncro hub had fallen apart.
Fortunately, all the pieces stayed inside
the hub, not causing any further damage.
The inner gear is a "no longer available"
item, but SpitBits is great at locating NLA
parts. The gearbox is rebuilt and ready to
go back into the car.
