Mainly focused on installing the lower shock absorber rubber bushings in both shock absorbers. I am using the Munroe shocks out of the 1957 that seem to be in good shape. However the bushings I purchased did not seem to fit properly requiring some "modification" to fit. I had to trim them down a bit-I am assuming the shocks are after market and not identical OEM replacements?? I may do some more research today on the situation...I placed the lower brackets in the Eastwood tumbler for clean up and let the machine do it's thing for about 3 hours...I decided yesterday I am going to use the shocks and maybe sometime down the road replace them after I have driven the car for a while..they should be "fit for purpose"...
I took pictures of the upper wishbone configuration to make sure I have them reassembled correctly (front and back placement) then set them to my supplier in Calgary who happens to have a TR3 parts car sitting in their yard. I asked them to confirm my reassembly. I expect an answer back today..
Not a lot of energy yesterday for TR-3 work but I did get out into the garage and make some progress...
