Triumph Restoration Projects by Elin Yakov
The Real Rusty Beauties
Some work is done on them, but for the time being they are hanging in the waiting room
1957 Triumph TR3
This early "small mouth" TR3 is coming to my shop literally piece by piece. I have the engine sitting under my bench for a few months now and I just got the front valance, which is a great garage art for now LOL. The rest is coming soon and then I will post a video about it.
1968 Triumph Spitfire MK3
My Second Rusty Beauty
Just like most of the other Rusty Beauties, she came in by chance. I wasn't looking for another project, but I couldn't resist her beauty and I bought her even though I knew she will have to wait. Well she got new seats and door cards already, got her engine rebuilt, but she had to give it up for some time.... it went to her older sister for a while. Well, the plans were to get it back at some point, but we might have another idea for her. We will get back to her eventually. When...? Well hopefully in the near future. For now she is in the waiting list.
1972 Triumph TR6
This is the next in line project. At least that is the plan for now, but you know plans always change so.... Anyway, she is a low mileage ca. The engine failed when she was young and she's been sitting since late 70's I believe. Unfortunately she sat outside at some point from what I see, but she will be back on the road one day. I am really anxious to put my hands on her. There is only one video about her for now
