Theres snow on my screen!:tennis:
Ive been busy with other projects, and the tr3a has been kept on the back burner for a few yrs. Had a death in the family and other issues as well. I love the new look of the page!
To get everyone refreshed...we have a frankenstien car....57 body, 59 frame and tr4 engine...lol.
Since I was last on here, we had the motor rebuilt and the engine installed in the frame. Looks fantastic.... Then we dropped the body shell onto the frame and found out one of the holes (rear) isnt lining up correctly. Either something is outta line or the body has warped over time...hard to say. Also, we found out that a tr4 curved tube intake manifold is a bit large for a tr3 engine bay....OOPS! So, Im gonna find a tr3 intake and put the ZS carbs on it and hope that it will run as well with the change.
So....I look forward to getting some good advice from all those on here with some of the issues we are dealing with. I recall several of you guys really helped me out before, so my partners and I are still moving forward with the process, even if its painfully slow.
Happy Holidays everybody!!
