I"ve done my own several times.  Not too hard as long as you don't have to
replace the worm.  If the worm does need to be replaced, I'd probably ship
it off to TRF.

You asked for opinions; mine is that a TR3 with R&P is not "restored".  At
best, it's a resto-mod.  Among other issues, the R&P conversion means the
control head does not stay with the turn lever up, and no longer cancels.
Most of them relocate the turn signal switch to the dash, using the
self-cancelling switch from an MGA.
