Another wreck has made it way into my greasy mitts to be torn apart, repaired, rebuilt and reborn. This sorry mess was once a gleaming Triumph TR6R 650 twin in Hi-Fi Rivera Blue.
It doesn't look like much, but the frame and engine numbers match & are unmolested, the tank has no dents and no significant rust and although the gearbox contained a couple of pints of rusty water the rest of the engine internals reveal little wear.
The frame and any other parts which ought to be black are piling up in the "going-for-blasting-and-powdercoating" corner, I've dismantled the engine and have started cleaning 43 years of accumulated crud off the cases and I've started gathering together a few spares to replace the gears (their watery bath had corroded away a few gear teeth).
