Gordon, just to mention that body tooling was changed during TR3A production at car TS60000 and many aspects of your two cars are different. For instance on the later car you will notice that the scuttles, hood and trunk lids have raised hinge plinths. The earlier car's hinges sit flush. The panelling behind the seats is quite different too. These items are not readily interchangeable. Also modified were the trunk drainage channel, trunk lid bracing, internal shape of the doors, deletion of timber rails on top of the doors and behind the front scuttle.
In addition there were changes to the ring gear, starter motor and gearbox housing at car TS50000 which have to be assembled in matched sets.
Therefore you might consider rebuilding either your "early" or "late" car, as mixing and matching can bring many problems.
The good thing is that spare panels from one car can be readily sold to acquire the panels you need, or keep everything and rebuild both cars.

Viv.
