Triumph TR3- More Painting Prep/Patch Panel/Flange Work

A couple more painting prep sessions on the floor board and trunk area re-coat in the last couple of days. I attached some more of the flange pieces etc to the firewall/floor area that I had fabricated earlier but not installed. I also attached a patch panel to the bottom of the rear right wheel well area-also prefabricated but not installed. A total of about 4 hours spent all together.

Last night I went out and cleaned up my work area. It had deteriorated dramatically in the last few days. Time to pick up and get organized. Also made the work area safer to be in...

I plan to finish scuffing the POR 15 surface today and apply metal prep to the bare metal in preparation for the primer coat. It is currently around -30C so I am reluctant to apply the primer coat until the weather warms. Too difficult to keep the garage at a constant temperature for paint application!!!!

Purchased a new container of Metal Prep and some sheets of 80 Grit sandpaper-Total cost $28.35.

I also downloaded a picture of a white 1960 TR3 for "inspirational" purposes off the Henning site. ( I spent about 15 minutes last night looking at TR3's for sale)..A nice looking car with wire wheels.
