1959 Triumph TR3 - Build Number TS53896L‏

1959 Triumph TR3A Description

The car was purchased in 2003 from Reston, VA and was a runner at the time of purchase. Our goal with this project was to stabilize the body and store it until we could complete the restoration. The body and fixtures were all blasted and all body work was performed. This included new floor pans, sills, trunk floor, spare tire well, firewall and inner fenders. No patch plates were used - all new panels were used in the restoration. The sides on this TR3 are very straight - From the front fenders all the way back to the rear fenders.

After the body was restored, we made sure things like the front disk brakes, clutch/brake hydraulics,bakelite, etc were stabilized as well. Some parts were completely restored to keep them from further deterioration.

In 2004 the we bagged and boxed all the car's parts inside cockpit, covered it up. It sat covered in a climate controlled environment for 5 years, then it was moved to our new shop outside Kansas City. Inexplicably, the front and rear bumpers disappeared during that move. Someone decided they needed them worse that we did. . but nothing else disappeared, only the bumpers Once it arrived in Kansas, the car has been stored covered up in a climate controlled shop.

As mentioned earlier, the car is complete and all parts are boxed inside the cockpit of the car. the car is rolling on 4 original wire spokes and body is on frame. The engine is on a stand, but we can mate the transmission and put engine/transmission back in the car for easier shipping.
