Definitely not as fun as Greg's Magical Garage.... (he's not here to do the work for me so that dampens the fun factor a tiny bit)

Played with this feller's 57 TR3 some more today, last week I put in new body sill panels, floor pan's and rocker panels...

Today I found almost 1/4" of mud and a big ass unexplainable hole under the 5 layers of paint on the rear of the car, because some dumbarse can't swing a hammer & dolley, and likely couldn't weld either.......





Look at the huge dent (below) they never even bothered trying to remove...


literally 3 minutes with a hammer & dolley and I got it out far enough to prep for some hole welding...


Thie one almost couldn't be helped... Very hard to get a hammer in at the correct angle, and dolley-ing from the outside was only minimally effective...






There, I'm done booring you now

Nice job Gary. Ive owned 3 TR6s, one of which was right hand drive. Ive always wanted a TR3.
Keep us updated on the progress

Looks good!

I have had luck with heat, especially on something like that where its not very flat. Not sure how brave you feel witha torch, but you may be able to work that top corner out.

Nice work just the same

Looks like that nasty 57 T-Bird I did a few years ago. They kinda banged it into a general shape and let the bondo fly! It was so bad I welded in what I could, banged it a little closer, and let the bondo fly!

It's always big fun to go "exploring" under the old paint and bondo. Some amazing stuff under there!

I got that nasty little hole taken care of...


This thing has been hit on all corners, and both sides....

Musta got hit while it was parked as I've never known a Triumph to run long enough to get in that many wrecks...

Nice work, Gary.

(sorry, repeat post...)

Hahahaha! This one just came to the guy from a 12 year sit in someone's garage...

Thanks for the compliment. I wish I could swing a torch, mig, and hammer as good as Greg though!

None of my stuff is real! I do it all with smoke, mirrors, and photoshop!

Wish I had photoshop on my PC

Wish I could download any car I wanted...

Well, you know what we say in the aircraft business... beat to fit & paint to match.
