 This TR3 started life as a light blue car originally sold in Ohio. It then was sold to a person that lived in Tennessee and after that it spent most of its life in Georgia. When I bought the car it had been completely disassembled, sandblasted and acid dipped and after spending most of its life in the south rust was at a minimum. I like to get cars in this condition, first because you can see exactly what you have as far as rust and bodywork and second you don't have to fight rusty bolts and nasty greasy parts.

LATEST UPDATE: 2002 - The engine was upgraded, all parts balanced, ported and polished head with hardened valve seats and a three angle valve job, headers, intake flowed, bigger cam, lightened flywheel, TR6 clutch, GM alternator conversion and electronic ignition. See and hear it HERE!

2003: Installed TR6 front suspension with polyurethane bushings and made provisions for more camber adjustment. Installed 60 spoke wire wheels.
