This was a posting I made on The Triumph Experience, for any who may have m=
issed it or don't follow TTExp.

I don't want to "advertise" the car (Bring a Trailer, eBay, etc) as we are =
in a gated community and I'd rather just sell to an enthusiast or bring it =
back to Michigan to finish some outstanding issues, like the overdrive whic=
h has no wiring or solenoid.

Two months ago I came across a TR3 which had been sitting for decades: I br=
ought it back to our house in Florida and have been working on it ever sinc=
e. To date:

New battery. New spin-on oil filter adaptor. New distributor cap and leads.=
 New brakes front (pads) and rear (shoes, springs), new calipers, rotors an=
d hoses. New master cylinders, clutch slave and hose. New front wheel beari=
ngs. New ball joint and upper A-arm bushings (PS). Four new 165 x 80 x 15 t=
ires and inner tubes on 48-spoke painted wire wheels. New gas tank / fittin=
gs / fuel pump. New windscreen wipers and lower windscreen seal. One replac=
ement front hub. Two replacement restored horns. Replacement carburetors an=
d linkages: two new carb jet assemblies. New copper and rubber gas lines wi=
th new in-line gas filter. Replacement generator. Replacement heater valve =
and pipe. New radiator hoses, new water pump, new thermostat. Steering whee=
l recovered. Replacement AMCO sidescreens.

Yesterday we started her up and ran the engine for about 20 minutes. Today =
I hope to get out and drive it.

I either ship the car back to Michigan or sell before we leave here mid-Apr=
il. If anyone knows of someone looking for a nice daily driver, contact me =
for more details !
