Hello,
I bought my '60 TR3-A non-sync from my cousin in Aug 2019. I have been wanting to drive it for almost 40 years since the first time I saw it stored in his mothers garage when I was a kid. He finally decided it was too much to maintain and with a little push from his wife he sold it to me for a "great" price. I suppose the sentimental value alone made it worthwhile and its still in the family. Of course I told my wife i would have it professionally restored quickly and be driving it around town in the spring. I did take her and some of the nieces and nephews for a spin around the neighborhood but soon discovered that it was overheating....so now I'm into an overhaul that started with a tune up. I'm almost ready to get the engine started after I re-install the fuel tank, fix the leak in the differential.....
This winter hopefully I'll get the body taken care of and the interior and the top, etc.
I have found information in this forum that was not available anywhere else so I look forward to continuing the restore and perhaps being able to share some of my experiences.
Thanks,
NatS
