    The Tiger has arrived

    Good advice Michael, I have a 2 post lift, and at this time do not trust the underside of the car. I did however jack it up at the diff. and front crossmember when I was getting the wheels unstuck. Seemed pretty stable with little or no door flex. I might just use a floor jack and jack stands....

    The Tiger has arrived

    Picked up my new project last Wednesday. It's rough and ready, but I'm still excited about it. Spent the last few evenings taking pics, loosening up stuck parts, and removing some components to gain better access to the engine. After sitting for so long, it's stuck, so I removed the plugs and...

As you can see, it's going to be a pretty agressive project. It appears...

    attaching a pic

    I have tried to add a picture to my post through manage attachments ,resizing it to the proper size and making sure it's under 19k. It's a jpeg file (.jpg extension). I keep getting a failed to upload message, what's up? Is it because of the extension (.jpg instead of .jpeg or jpe??)

    Hi All, Looks like a great site! I've been a british car nut for years, having owned a Triumph GT6, TR6, and an early Austin Healey 3000. I've got the opportunity to purchase a '65 Tiger that has been sitting for 26 years. It will be an agressive restoration to say the least, and I'm sure...
