Cool...enjoyed watching, thanks for the tip!

Notice they left the inner wings all banged up. Doesn't show when done, but sure looks half a$$ on the camera.

Appears to me, that they took a good looking, usable TR3, and made it only good for maybe autocrossing. Ruined a nice paint job, and made something that can't be used on the street. No way to use a top, or sidecurtains.

If I were to put a supercharger on the TRactor motor, it would be a modern Eaton, and not one of those Paxtons ready to swallow some vanes. I went the cam, head shave, 87mm piston and liner, header route which I think is more appropriate.

I didn't like the paint work either. The colors didn't do it for me. I have those aero-screens, and they slide right off so you can just install the regular windscreen. It's no big deal. I switch them around all the time. Yes, you have to remove the wiper arms.
