This channel started just as a place to share videos from my family's new beginning in Canada, but in the last year or so it started living it's own life. I started posting videos about my first restoration project of a British car - 1966 Triumph Spitfire MK2 and they attracted people's interest so I continued filming some other projects I work on and now there are couple of projects on the go and each has it's own playlist in the channel. Sometimes I also post videos about other interesting things I make for my family, but mostly the channel is and is going to be about car restorations. If you like my work and want to follow the restorations, please, support my channel by clicking the like button under the videos and subscribe.
You can also find my page Rusty Beauties in Facebook (or just click on the link in my channel art above) where I share some interesting articles, facts or just photos I find here and there over the web.
So stay tuned and I will try to keep you entertained!

Awesome, Thanks.👍
well done ...you have great persistance...its whats needed with these old yokes...its also important to be able to prioritise and not to keep on taking on projects otherwise you can become stressed. great video....well done and the love you have for these cars is so nice to witness.
Couldn't sleep, just a chance Elin was awake, he didn't let me down
Nice rescue guys. That’s a solid car, a lot more than my tr4 was before restoration. Glad you got it, always good see another one saved… take care guys….
Wow, it really is better than it looked at first! You didn't mention the door crease. The TR4 is in good hands for sure. On the engine, I was kind of wondering if something in the drive train caused it to sit for so long. I once bought a spare engine to swap into a car. It was from a known 'good guy' in the BMW community. I wanted to reseal it and also replace the head gasket, and found that it was locked up like yours. Rings rusted to the liners. Sooo mad. But, it led to my first engine rebuild, and that was a great experience!
Great information and definitely and inspiration and reference for my overall. I am building a trans for my gt6, tr6 transmission with j type. Interesting your natural safety switch, I don’t think we have that in the uk?
In the past we used pour Marvel Mystery Oil into the cylinders and let soak a day or or 2 or 3 and then put the car in gear (2nd gear I think) and rock the car back and forth to free up a seized engine but after reading one of the comments regarding pressure plate bolt that come free and your seized valve, I don’t know if that might not possibly cause more damage. We were young then and very lucky in the 60s.
You already said exactly what I was thinking after you use it a while. It goes up and down pretty smooth Center rings important but I don’t want thing. I’m sick of jacking on the handle. You don’t have to. I’m glad you were happy with the product. I have two of them so I figure, as many times as I watch, you guys lift up and down the cars with the pump, I thought this is Up down, no problem enjoy my brother. I enjoy everything you and David do.
Get another bike that's too much bs
Great info
Great stuff
Heineken??.... Where's the Stella gone... Unsubscribed 😉
It was “emergency beer” from the corner gas station 😉
Is'nt the crank bolt an opposite thread? In which case you have just undone it!
Not on these cars..regular thread.
They work very well, but be careful with it.
I can't believe that bolt snaped.
Nice! Another Signal red TR4 (kinda)
They’re better on the road than sat waiting for a nut and bolt resto! Plus it’s a shame for you not to have a drivable Triumph. Any idea where in the US it was imported from? Given the low rust and visible sun damage to the paint and rubber maybe you lucked out and got a dry state car?
Good with your new project
One week. I just finished a one week project. No engine work. No interior work. No body work. Just brakes, suspension, wiring and install engine/gearbox. Two of us worked 10/12 hour days for 18 days. I understand wanting to save a car but as long as you add new projects to the schedule you will never get the old ones done. Great seeing you and the Chef together.
I was going to suggest that you have a freshly rebuilt TR4 engine sitting right there (shhhhhh... I won't tell Cheftush, if you don't.) But I guess that wouldn't be very nice. 😃
😎
This car will run beautifully after a couple of weeks of your attention
A “not happy ending “ would have been a rotted out frame and major structural repairs. Just needs a good plan and a little bit of your talent to be a driver. Good luck.
That is what I did with my Spitfire! Just a rustoration and make it safe for the road but I had done mine in 6 months! I also have another car in the works and will be reveling what it is in a couple weeks. I sure hope you can get it running and to the 6 pack trials because I will be there one way or another!!
3:25 "It's going to be fine!" As Chef Tush stated, so we all must believe. Count your blessings Elin, Tiara the 4th rolled out of the driveway with no drama, so that was a good surprise. Will you do a 'Post Mortem' on the engine once you yank it out? I'm curious to know if engine damage was why it was parked all those years ago.
…. Doh! How did this ‘second’ red TR4 Rustotation slip in front of that gorgeous GT6? I mean c’mon… that GT6 is very upset and thinks you don’t love her at all! Lol 😂. She is right there, inside the garage, all the parts are there and you ignore her like she’s just a piece of GT trash. Lol! I bet she even has an engine that runs!! .. but Noooo, you find another Red TR4 ‘MESSterpiece’ and you get all excited. I’m calling the GT6 Foster Parent hotline to find a new home for that GT HotBabe! She’s deserves better! You’ll be sorry when she is all painted and looking super fast and sleek, and you’ll look at yet another Patina Princess and realize you could be diving and hot head-turner GT! 😂 Lol Just razing you! 👍
Gentlemen.That is the cap from a bottle of Rickard's Red beer. I am so disappointed in you both.
I’m not a beer drinker, sorry 😉
I have a spare TR3A overdrive.
Thanks Dave, can you email me at elin.yakov@rustybeauties.com I am interested. Thanks
I looked at that car (and the two others). I figured that they were just parts cars because they were all too far gone to restore economically. However, you have the skills to do it! I’m glad you’ll be resurrecting that “beauty”.
LA KAWASAKI ELIMINATOR 125 ES UNA LEYENDA 🔥🔥
Nothing like being addicted to the TR eh? Obsession
Well you are closer to having the full Triumph line up Tr3 Tr4 Tr6 spit x2 half way there Tr2 , Tr4a,Tr5 /250. Still to come. Enjoy and the fun of working on them and enjoy thr drve whenever you get the chance.
Elin you are providing a public service keeping these vehicles on the road, great work 👍👍⭐⭐
Kudos on the save and good luck on the project. Love the videos. I bought a ten year old bmw 2002 in 1978 that wouldn’t turn over. To make a long story short, one of the clutch pressure blade bolts had come out and jammed between the flywheel and the bell housing. Once I pulled the transmission it turned freely
I hope the GT 6 will ready for the street some day, there is not so match to do on the body, most of them is done. The other projects can wait without the Miata. I think a little help from Cheftush and the GT 6 will run faster than you think.
Elin, you saved another one!! Good on you. For having sat outside for 28 years the floors and trunk are in great shape. It really is a diamond in the rough. Patina smamina. I hope Thomas the T4 gets a new coat. ( of paint)
We didn’t really want to see Anna the Mk3 GT6 painted and back together this year anyway ! At least the complete Triumph sports collection to match David’s is coming along…. Plus somehow I don’t think he will get a Spitfire or GT6 ! 😊
i had a 65 tr4 in 72. black with spoke wheels. fond memories. fun car.
Love the new project! BTW - The bottle cap is from a Rickards Red Beer bottle.
Great project car, looks like it has only been stood outside for 5 years not 26 wow! You could nick Cheftush’s engine 😂😂😂
Did all the krap inside the car blow out while you were driving it home?
Great new project Elin!
What you paid for it?
Elin - is this a joint project with you and David or is it just yours? Love this model.
Just Elin.
Cool Another one! All hail Tiara the Fourth!
aha first
Hi Elin I have one of these…. I never use under the middle of a car as it can easily fall to one side, also be very careful with a light weight such as a car shell with no engine, the Jack can jam halfway and then suddenly explode upwards throwing the car to one side. I now only use this Jack under a corner for lifting one wheel of a fully built car, If you read the instructions it does actually say this.
Thanks you! It makes sense!
I need one, my mother has fallen down a few times and this would get her up again.
Huge job well done. Forgot you had a press to put the bearing race in. I freeze the race and heat the hub to make installation easier without a press. Would recommend using grease on through bolts so the next guy doesn’t encounter frozen bolts. Lots of grease. Probably why it came apart so easily.
So what did it sell for
