OK, I'm embroiled in a complete restoration on my TR3, VIN 23677. The body needs more work then I think is worth putting into, so I acquired a complete (shell and all outer panels) body, but it's a 60k+. That means that there a lot of differences. The biggest problems I've noted to date are listed below.
1. Wiring harness has spade connectors. Are there any other differences in the wiring, other then the connectors??
2. Wedge vs. Dzus fastener side curtains. No problem, I have the late doors and a set of the late side curtains.
3. Interior components. Since I'm completely re-doing the interior, no problem.
4. Different fuel tank. I have both tanks, and both are good. Which one will be the easiest fit using the original fuel lines.
5. This is my biggest problem that I see. Windscreens. I only have the early one. Should I hunt down a later one, or mount the early slider assemblies to the scuttle and use the eary windscreen??
I probably haven't yet seen all the differences that will affect this resto job, so if there are some I've missed, please let me know.
