TR2/3/3A TR3A Finally on the Road!

I just wanted to give a big thank you to everyone (especially John and the late Randall) for all the advice as I have gone through this restoration over the past 6 years. The feedback received on this forum was very valuable, and most certainly helped me to get through the project successfully. I still have some items to finish up, and I need to get the mixture right, but the car is very drivable - and fun!

Congratulations!

" the car is very drivable - and fun" That's what we all feel - and it's also why we help others to get back on the road.

Drive it like you stole it!

Love the fact you have stuck to it!! I tell everyone that if you dedicate 2hours a week
to a project car it will get done 3 or4 years tops. That said, NEVER believe an old car is "done",
they require up keep and TLC .The watchful eye will detect the loose bolt/wire .Then there
are all the up grades to the little things you secretly wish you had done differently .

Congratulations. As Mad Dog just stated , these cars are never done. I finished a TR3A about a year ago and still finding little things that need fixed, adjusted or altered. It just extends the fun.

Beautiful! I like the blacked out look, especially since it hasn't been done on a TR3 that I know of. Makes it look menacing. Now have some fun with it!
