Well, Body TS57756L and engine #57885E are once again together!
After waiting three weeks for somebody to drop by, I finally got devious
(desperate) and invited a single friend over for supper and conned him
into helping me drop the engine / transmission back into the frame /
body tub. A little less than two hours later and every bolt is
tightened down and I ready to think about plugging it all together.
Gawd, it looks good. (And everything seems to fit, including the Toyota
5 speed tranny) Funny thing is neither the friend nor myself have ever
done anything like that before and he's legally blind (not factually
blind in that he can see well enough to walk [not drive] and reads with
great difficulty, but blind enough!)
Anyway, three years after they first came apart, I'm starting to see
light at the end of the tunnel. Maybe two more years and we will have a
running TR3A.
I think I'll have another beer.
