Restoration is done on the car except for some bugs to work out. 7.5 years to do the job, much longer than anticipated. I want to thank all the people on the forum for the tech support, hard parts to find, and encouragement when times were down. Also a big thanks to Basil for creating this forum. So much information to be had here.

Bravo! That is a great looking TR3 - wow.

After you've come back to earth, please sprinkle a little dust under the bonnet - so my own TR doesn't look quite so bad!

Well done!

Super-nice Keith! That color really shows off the curves of the TR2/3. I appreciate the authentic touches under the hood - is that an AC radiator cap I see?

Thanks. Now I have to clean the drool off my keyboard.
Looks really sharp.

Now the fun part really begins. I put my plates on in September of last year, and started 'sorting it out'. I have since driven it 13,000 miles and not once have I wanted to start my 6 year restoration over. -Although I did have to 'freshen' a couple things, it hasn't let me down. Enjoy your new ride and thinks for posting the pictures.
