By way of introduction, my first Triumph was a '64 Spitfire acquired in the summer of 1971 just before my senior year in high school. This led to the acquistion of a 1957 TR3 the following summer, a car I eventually sold in the early 80s and have regretted doing that ever since. Fast forward to a decade ago when I acquired two complete TR3s, a TR2 and parts for almost two more. I've over-compensated a bit.
Now that I'm ready to begin work on the cars, I'm discovering that the body of knowledge needed for restoration are a hodgepoge of discussion forums, self-made websites (some now defunct), mail list archives and older published material.
My solution to that, as oppsed to a local collection of Internet bookmarks, a folder of photocopied pages and a stack of old books, was to create an on-line knowledge wiki to assist me in the body-off-frame restorations of four TRs.
Located at https://triumphworkbook.com/, the Triumph Workbook uses the same software as the more famous Wikipedia. At first, it will be mostly an annotated links collection, but as I work through the restoration process four times, I hope to add useful additional information as well as provide an organized central resource for all the information that I collect. My intent is for it to be a useful resource to anyone who wants to restore one of these cars. The copyright used for the site permits free non-commercial use of the original content.
