Triumph TR6 - Parts compatibility

Hi.

I have a 73 TR6 in good condition except for the usual bondo around the head and tail lights.
I was planning to purchase replacement panels and slowly rebuild the car.
I now have the opportunity to buy a 1976 TR6 with an overdrive gearbox for less than $4000. The car is not in as good condition as mine but the panels are not rusted/bondo etc. Are all the panels compatible with a 73 and will the overdrive fit.
Seems like a good deal as all the new parts and overdrive would prbably exceed the purchase price of the car.

Cheers, Neil.

Neil,
From '72 and up to end of TR6 ('76) used the J type OD so you are good to go one that. Figure a good working J type is worth $1,500.00
The front wings will fit. The only difference will be where the holes are for the front bumper side mounting point (height). A little filling and a new hole and it is fixed. The doors and all other panels are a perfect fit including both rear 1/4s.
The engine and full drive train are worth at the very least 4thou.
