TR2/3/3A New 1957 TR3a in the family

I collect them! Working on them is the problem. Actually, being a Large Animal Vet has benifits. I start early in the am and my commute is no more than 30 mins. Usually I'll be done with calls by early afternoon and my garage is next to the clinic so I can step inside and work on something until something comes up or I head for home at the end of the day. Not a bad life, if you can stand getting called out all hours of the day and night and you are on call 24/7 :thumbsup:.

I got my build sheet through TRA. Not as fancy as BMH, but as with you, I only wanted the information.
 
I got the one for my 1958 TR3A from TRA in 1989 when I was finishing my restoration.

Here it is Frank. I told the S-T dealer when I ordered the car that I didn't want whitewalls or the ocasional rear seat. I wanted to save money. He removed these. Also I ordered the windscreen washer option that the factory had not installed so mine was "dealer installed". That's why the push plunger is in a very logical location to the left of the steering wheel near my overdrive switch, not way over by the glove box.

I think the "Do not slush" refers to a protective coating that they sometimes used during shipping by sea. I can only guess that mine did not have this, therefore there was no need to remove it.

Any other suggestions ?
 
According to Merriam-Webster, one definition of slush as a noun is "refuse grease and fat from cooking especially on shipboard"! As a transitive verb: "to wet or splash with slush"! Perhaps this was an alternative method of coating all or parts of cars being shipped by sea, instead of cosmoline? Pure speculation here.... :confuse:
 
Could this "slushing" explain the "water marks" others have found inside the front fenders of their TR6's?
