I have been spending way too much "pleasant" time under the bonnet of my TR3 with solvents removing rust proofing and tar etc. preparing to paint my engine bay. While wiling away the hours there I was looking about and wondering....
Could the following be done with lots of car and finesse without removing the front apron (or has anyone ever attempted it or done it)
-remove the fan without removing the rad
-remove the hub extension via the starter hole in the rad
-remove the frame cross piece (I suspect yes)
-remove the tranny (I know this can be done I did it)
-remove the water pump, generator and crank pulley
-remove the engine (which is my real question, is there some sneaky way to get the engine out without removing the apron - since the DPO welded my apron in place)
Like I said I have spent too much time staring at things under there and I was inspired by my in car steering box rebuild success.
