Hello Folks,
Been a few years since I've been on this forum (had a 59 TR3A that I sold in 2007) but I'm glad to be back with a new project. On the last one I had most of the work done (in part because I really wanted to get on the road and in part because I didn't have a garage. This time, I have a garage (albeit small) and young sons who are inclined to pick up a wrench. The project is a 62, although I am almost certain the build was in 61, TR3A (TS8174? - somebody drilled through the last number). On the upside, it runs - came with rebuilt carbs, new starter, coil, distributor, fuel pump and relined tank...then there is the body - one floor shot, the other thin, rockers rotten, DS door looks like it took an impact at one point, cowl also has some brazing in the same area, fenders are OK and probably will only need minor patch (from what I can see now) rear fenders have some more issues with a few two inch holes near the fender beading.
Apparently, the car had many parts stolen from the PPO who had it in a barn, the PO ran into a guy at a fair who wanted to get rid of all his TR3 stuff in one shot so I have an extra 3 doors, 2 transmissions, 2 steering boxes and piles of other heavy metal pieces - have to track down a speedo and tach, but other than that mostly complete.
Floors and rockers have been ordered for a start, inner sills look OK. Now I just have to find time...
Cheers,
Kerry
