I am a returning Member and have a new handle to reflect my current project, a 1955 TR2 that has recently returned from 6 years of metal, body and paint work at custom shop in Saluda SC. The inner body is mated to the frame (recently powder coated) and the painted outer panels and pieces are cocooned in new, clean furniture pads. I was overcome by foolhardiness at a recent Mecum Auction in Denver and purchased five new wires and tires. Alas, the rear is a greasy rusted mess and the front end is in pieces in boxes. First task is to get running gear under and tub and up on the new wheels. From reading the shop manual I assume I will have many questions to bridge the gap between manual and reality. Thanks in advance for the soon to come help
