I just joined the forum. My dad finally gave me his 59 TR3 that’s been hiding in his garage. He bought it in 1970 for $150 in poor condition (with hard top). We (dad, me and older brother) restored it in our 1 car garage and I enjoyed driving it in college). It was last registered in 1991! I shipped it to the DPW garage where I work and after rebuilding the carbs and fuel system, it started right up. We’ve been replacing hoses, belts, tires etc and it’s about to be repainted. Can’t wait to get it on the road this summer. I plan to drive it in New Hampshire lake region.
 
Welcome aboard ML ! We have a pretty active Triumph forum here so be sure to also stop in there and say hi - maybe post a picture or two!

Hello Mlwetzel

Welcome to the forum.

Good to hear it started up after so long a rest. They are tough motors.

Post some photos of before and after the paint job.
