Thats awsome that you were able to drive your TR6 through school.

The main problem I had with mine, was it was so freaking hard to start, sometimes when we did have it out we'd go to start it back up an it acted like it had "hot start" issues. Among other starting problems.
The second main problem Ive had was "sticking brakes" / brake problems.
Thats why I would say mine was not very reliable, starting an brake issues.

Yeah, I will admit that the TR6 brakes are horrible. I neglected to mention that the car had a stuck rear brake cylinder stuck when I bought it. I obviously rebuilt the brakes before I drove it at all.

And the hot starting issue was probably a combination of low compression and carbs that needed an overhaul. (The factory carbs are POS).

And yeah it was pretty cool being able to drive that back in school, but it was in pretty rough shape before I restored it. That didn't stop me from driving around like it was the coolest car in the world. lol
