Update.  The cars were not as I expected. But, I believe the owner really
thought he had something.

I still think I did ok, but not great.   As a result, plans are changing a
bit. The hardtop has rust holes and is likely worthless. The OD will be
removed and sold if i don't decide to keep it for the tr2.

I'll let the cars speak to me as we proceed, but I'm thinking the plan is
to have a car that starts runs and drives with no remaining rust or safety
issues and sell it as such.  Paint, final bodywork and interior left to the
purchaser.

I think by the time I'm done it will be close to paint ready. They will
look good in black epoxy primer. two tr3's saved.....

Chris

Don't trash the hard top. If it's steel, it can be repaired by
somebody with the skills.
