New VKG member
Everyone welcome Don Wood (a.k.a. Rustbucket) to the Gruppe. Don lives in Tallahassee, Fl and is a trained diesel mechanic with 8 years of experience as a Seabee in the Navy. And Yeti will be glad to know his wife drives a '76 TR6.
I will let Don give the run down on his car since I don't have all of the details just yet. Obviously you can see some of it in the member's section though. Welcome aboard Don. Glad to have another guy in the area with the disease. :agree: Look forward to meeting you soon.

HA HA HA! :agree:
Welcome to the club Don. Glad that we now include TWO English car owners/ gluttons for punishment.  After this Bug project finishes chewing on my wallet, I gotta overhaul my TR6. Shoulda done that prior to starting on another project, but it still runs pretty strong, and I wanna squeeze 100k miles out of it just to say it made it that far.

No I don't think I'll make it to BugJam this year. My VW is currently in the body shop, and I'm overly committed until December. I'm at FSU right now trying to get a BS in Nursing. Takes up most of my time. If only Bugjam was closer. But once the car is finished I should be able to get to more events.
As for the TR.... That's the reason my tinker toy is a VW. If you guys thought expenses get out of hand on VW's, check out the prices on TR parts!!!! Ridiculous. My father in law has had 2 TR4's since they were new and he knows his way around them. Lucky for me. He does most of the maintenance on the wife's car. He's built up stockpiles of parts. I had actually thought about buying another TR for my next project, but there's no backseat, and I couldn't stand to see the bug waste away. Yeti, are you going to the British car meet in St. Augustine this weekend? The wife's folks are going. They do VTR and all of that stuff. The wife and I did the convention in May and it was a hoot. There's a picture of the car on the Temple of Triumph website under funkhana. It's a red 6 with me driving and my wife hanging halfway out. Great time. Anyway guys, thanks for having me. I'm sure looking forward to it, and I'll keep you posted on the project.
