Triumph TR3 - Turning Wrenches

I have been away from the garage for nearly 2 weeks. The time has gone quickly. Work and a 3 day cross country ski trip in between were the priorities although I will admit I spent a bit more time in front of the computer screen watching NETFLIX movies than engaging in some wrench turning...I have pondered the why and can only pin a "low energy" physical state on the default to the square screen.

Yesterday I determined to prepare the engine for removal. I really didn't want to face more bodywork so I decided to grab some wrenches and do some mechanical disassembly. Off came the radiator (a bit of a problem was experienced with the loosening of the lower hose so it took much longer than anticipated plus some antifreeze inadvertently spilled onto the garage floor adding more time to the task). I removed the fan and the front support that sits between the frame rails. exposing the front of the engine. Hopefully by the end of the weekend I will have the engine disconnected ready to remove. I am then going to go back to finishing off the body work on the rear valance and priming which I hope to have finished shortly. More to follow..
