The "purpose" of this blog is to provide myself (and potentially others) with a day by day (or whenever Triumph TR3 related thoughts/work contemplated or completed etc etc) record of what's going on with my "hobby",,,,I believe this blog will become my muse to keep me focused and centered on getting at least one of my cars on the road my September 1,2010..from this point forward referred to as "The Goal"....
History
In 1973 I co-owned two Triumph sports cars with my brother: a very tatty 1955 TR2 (with a blown transmission) and a solid but poorly painted 1962 TR3 with a high performance engine installed. Over a period of a couple of years the cars had become "the classroom" for learning all about the care and maintaining of Triumphs particularly in the areas of electrical, SU carbs and hydraulics (brakes and clutch)...based on the fact we had a parts car (the TR2) the TR3 was kept on the road for minimal cost. In 1973 I became engaged to be married and needed money for the ring so my brother and I determined to list the cars in the paper and sell them-which we did.... in retrospect a good decision.....
Current Day
Fast forward to December 2009 I now own 2 Triumph TR3's-a 1957 and a 1959...the 57 is totally disassembled with a powder coated frame and boxes and boxes of parts with the 1959 being "partially disassembled" with enough parts purchased over the past few years to put it back on the road. The last few months have been spent doing body work resulting in a bunch of panels "almost ready" to go to the body show for final primer.
