Welding is pretty much complete. Just smoothing, sealing, and painting. Gotta figure out a spot for some speakers though before paint.

Having just installed the dash and some of the interior, your best bet for front speakers will be under the dash facing down. You should be able to fit a 5x5 on either side. Sans heater, you'd have room for a amp under there.
Since I'm guessing you aren't going for originality, a 6.5 inch woofer would probably fit into the small footwell recesses behind the seats.

Nice floors though. I need to do some patching at the front end of mine, but I think I can get by without a complete replacement.

On my wrecked 3A, I had a pair of speakers installed in the kick panels. Had to use a filler panel on the right, so a modern full-range speaker would fit into the factory hole. On the left, I just pounded an area more-or-less flat and drilled a big hole. With only a 20 watt RMS CD-MP3 player (and my rather poor hearing), I could still easily listen to audio books at freeway speeds.
Certainly a power amp wouldn't hurt, nor would separate tweeters under the ends of the dash and a subwoofer under the 'occasional' seat. But I accomplished my goal without them.

Looks like a very clean job. Good job with the floors. It looks great along the firewall. I put a set in mine about 8 months ago. I'm still a long way from paint, primer maybe. I never listen to the radio so I can't help with a location for speakers. My TR6 still has it's stock AM FM radio with I think 2.3 watts per channel. 30 years ago the car had hundreds of watts now I just enjoy Stebro exhaust note.

What do you mean ? This is a 1955 or maybe a 1960 TR3 ? How can that be ? This is not a boat !
Hi Randy I was going to buy a set from TRF, but when I called a couple of weeks ago, right before the sale ended, they said they had to order them from England. I was afraid that that could take a long time. Did they order yours? Anyways I kinda decided to wait for Moss to send a catalog with a sale, but that has not happened yet. Does anyone know if Moss is going to have a New Year sale?

Oops, sorry for not responding earlier, my welding classes start next Tuesday, panels will go in 'sometime this year' I hope. There will be a ton of body work to do, still sorting through the pieces.
Yes, when I ordered the floors were immediately on backorder from TRF, but it looks like the shipment came in quickly, really no delay. With the sale it was a tough price to beat.
