So im working on the plans for my TR3 and I've hit upon a question concerning the order of my process. I restored a Spitfire some years ago and cut out and replaced the floor pans while it was still on the frame. As I'm planning my tr3 work I've found a bit of a difference of opinion on this. My own eyes tell me it looks more difficult to do while attached but I'd rather not torque the whole tub out of shape. I should note I'm replacing the sills as well. I've seen numerous restos where they just separate the tub front from back and weld the floor and sills in that way. Looks interesting but is there a consensus on these methods? My ideal plan would be pull the tub (reinforced btw) and set to the side so I can work on frame/drive train issues this summer.
Any recommendations would be appreciated!
