hello all
it’s a While since being on the forum , i blame stress.( cannot think why !! )
my car is a TR3a born 1960, PO installed overdrive , Tr7 rack and pinion,Tr6 wheels i think
and of course those lovely cloth seats and rear emblem.Who would choose cloth in an open top !.
It does have it’s problems but not as rusty as I thought and it runs smoothly. Notice the lack of beading on rear fenders a sire sign of a rear-ender but why the emblem ?

My wife thinks my black hood is boy racerish.
Its not intentional, it was a choice between rust black primer or red oxide,
all I had at the time.
some idiot forgot to screw down the hood before driving off ,It rapped itself over the screen and hitting me over the head. Probably to knock some sense Into me.
There was no safety at that time (made one now of course)

Nice looking ‘3, reminds me of Randall‘s, with the TR6 wheels.

If you are going to have a beading delete, better the back than the front for sure!
