Planning/Dreaming about my 59 TR3 Project

Hello Everyone,

I'm based in St Louis. I have a rusty but complete TR3A that belonged to my folks.

Unfortunately, it is going to need a frame off since the frame is rusted.

I have located what I think is an OK replacement frame that I will probably end up sending to Ratco for the TR6 front end upgrade.

The goal is to have a reliable driver. (I'll save all the original bits.)

I'm looking at this as a long term project.

Welcome to BCF Rick! I used to live just across the River in Troy, IL (Was stationed at Scott). We have a very active Triumph forum here so you'll get plenty of help and camaraderie!

Hello Rick

Welcome to the forum

The Triumph section is very active and you will get plenty of tips, help and advice there for your project.

Have you considered the cost difference between a new Ratco frame and having them mod the old one? You would be starting on a very solid foundation. My PO must have removed the body from the frame before they cut out the floor and sills. Took me a lot of work to get the door gap back so the doors would fit.
Post some photos of your TR3A.
