Hey folks,

Been awhile since I've posted. Was quite active last
year, while working on chassis resto on TS42099L. I
almost completed the frame when a second story house
addition entered the picture and the car got put on
back burner. Now house is done, so back into the
garage I go. Hoping to get the frame finished up
before Fall, so I can spend winter on body work. But,
in the meantime, dad said I can borrow his TR3 for
awhile. I am estatic to be able to drive a TR3 instead
of just turn a wrench on one in pieces.

So, I'm looking at ~ 500 miles to get it back here.
This has got me thinking about what spare/backup parts
I should have in trunk for this trip. Currently on the
list are:

Dist. cap/points/condensor
fan belt
extra oil/antifreeze
cell phone/AAA card
Minivan following closely behind by wifey

The list isn't very long yet. Biggest strength will be
having cell phone and a spare car following. With this
in mind, would you add any other bits to a
not-that-long trip? The car is in top shape with a
mechanical resto done around 5 years ago.

Thanks!
Richard
