First Project for RayVin Enterprises

Ray and Vince decided to partner for a project car and found a good candidate in a 1974 Triumph TR6.  For fun we are calling ourselves RayVin Enterprises - obviously a play on our names but also the Raven bird is known for eating dead animals - we bring dead little british cars back to life!

Today we brought this project car from Henderson KY to Ray's shop in Boonville on a trailer.




Above pic is car loaded on trailer at seller's place.  Those front wheels so far are permanently pointed into a hard left turn due to lack of an ignition key and a locking steering column.  Was a challenge getting the car on the trailer and getting it off, see pic below of removal from trailer.



Had to do the old "tie it off to something solid and pull the trailer out from under" combined with creative usage of a floor jack to get car off trailer.  

Not sure how all this stuff got in the engine compartment, think maybe the ignition key is buried in their somewhere?
