After a few "adjustments" to her frame, Izzy (we name our cars around here) now drives straight and true. These guys did a really good job. Before I had the frame unbent, I would be in a constant left side drift, now she is straight down the road with no hands!

How was this done body on or off and may I ask how many arms and leggs did it cost!
 
It was done body on. Fortunately, the tweaking that had to be done was due to a bend just behind the left front wheel. This and the fact that my TR3 has a TR3a mouth definately indicates that she was once in a front end collision.

The all day job, including the replacement of the upper wishbone bushings cost $540.

Great - that's a good deal, based on some experience I've had with that sort of thing. A car that goes down the road straight on its own feels so much better than one that needs some constant steering wheel pressure. Pete
 
The owner of the shop has 2 MGBs, a Jaguar 3.8s, and an MGTF, all in the state of being restored (or waiting to be restored). I found this out after meeting him and getting the estimate. He was truely interested in doing a good job.
