Welcome. There's loads of useful information and interesting threads to read through here.

Have you just bought your TF or had it for a while and just found the forum ?

G'day and welcome, have you gone through the new member/owner checklist: https://www.the-t-bar.com/forum/54-how-tos/99326-a-check-list-for-new-owners
Forgive me if I've already sent you this but with so many new members lately, that I've lost track of who's who in the zoo!

Hi notanumber
Had it for a while, got it for transportation costs to mine. Could do with a little project. So slowly breathing life into it.

Well done on getting it for the cost of transporting it. Ive recently done a similar deal, though had to part with a small amount of money to close it.

Best of all you've saved another one, which is what we all want to see !

I hope you'll post about your experiences as you work through it. Do you know what you are going to tackle first ?

Hi Notanumber,
Engine first, guess that's the crucial one, need it to start up, and then the rest will follow.
Made a few changes, new Stater Motor (old one had broken/rusted terminals), Coils, HT leads + newish battery, also drained the old fuel.
So I'll see if it starts up when I put some fuel in.
Any other you suppose I should be on the lookout for/check as well?
Thanks!!

Thats very sensible.  As he mentioned above, Cobber has complied a really useful checklist for new owners of these cars thats a good gerenal starting point:: https://www.the-t-bar.com/forum/54-how-tos/99326-a-check-list-for-new-owners

Do you know if the car stopped being used because of an engine fault ? If so it's worth doing the sniffer test for exhaust gasses in the coolant so you can prove / disprove head gasket failure (as the absense of  mayonaise in the oil isnt definitive disproof on K series engine) .. The test kits are quite cheap on Ebay and they come with enough of the test fluid to run several tests.
