I have been meaning to ask Paul if he would able to bring his
TR3A project to the Convention (NATC) as a 'restoration in process'. That
way
everyone could meet Paul and assess his project. My contribution has been
modest, and there must be more stuff he can use. Perhaps there could be
wrenching
session planned. Paul has his heart & soul in this project...just a thought.
I
know it requires logistics and lodging and all of that.
I don't know how many of you subscribe to Practical Classics magazine from
the UK, but a couple of issues ago it reported on a project I was involved in a
little over a year ago.
A group from the Spridget list (AH Sprite and MG Midget) all met for a long
weekend in Anahiem, CA and completely assembled a list member's Bugeyed
Sprite. He's had the paint and body work done, the engine rebuilt, and had
boxes
of labled parts standing by. It went from bare tub to finished car in two
days. About 25 folks came from as far away as New Jersey and made it happen.
This is a tough year for me as business is down and the boss expects me to
do something about it, but I'd be up for a Triumph trip. The Spridget team
goes by OSHIT, Organization of Spridget Handymen In Transit.

As he stared at her ample bosom, he daydreamed of the dual Stromberg
carburetors in his vintage Triumph, highly functional yet pleasingly formed,
perched prominently on top of the intake manifold, aching for experienced
hands, the small knurled caps of the oil dampeners begging to be inspected and
adjusted as
described in chapter seven of the shop manual.
