Cliff,
I don't know if one way is really better than another way to assemble it.
But when I put my 'frame off' '58 TR3A back together I assembled the engine,
transmission; all of the running gear; and hydraulic and brake lines first;
then with 3 friends dropped the tub onto the frame! It was pretty easy to
drop in place and I think the engine was a LOT easier to drop onto the bare
frame! However, that was just my experience and someone else may have done
it the other way with good results also!
Regards, and good luck!

Hello list.
I will soon be ready to assemble TR3A TS64232 and wonder if there is a
preferred sequence to do this. Is it better to fit the engine to the
chassis before fitting the body, or is it better to drop in the engine
after the body and chassis are assembled?
