TR2/3/3A Who's hoarding all the TR3 fenders?!

Twosheds said:
Good to see that it has brand new surface rust. Old surface rust would be bad.

New surface rust has higher quality oxides of rust that are more resistant to all the BS usually asscoiated with British cars...
 
hehehe. you guys are bad.
that's an option, but I'd hate to see shipping on that. (it's in the UK). And it probably woulden't get here in the same shape.
I've been checking ebay daily. I'm surprised I haden't seen that one yet.
 
Banjo, I haven't followed this thread, but I did come across a couple of potential sources for fenders. This is from a club ad i found on the information super hiway;
