Yes! I've been wondering how this build was coming along. Glad to see it's progressing 👍👍 Keen to see how it plays out!

[@rustyrobinson8027]

Thanks

[@cheftush]

Interesting project. Good luck with it!

[@RedWhiteandBoosted]

Thanks! I just bought a TR250! I can’t wait to see your thoughts on it!

[@seanlinne8383]

Is there going to be enough leg room after you shorten the floor? Also, I think it would be easier to section and widen the Triumph body than to narrow the chassis.

[@RedWhiteandBoosted]

It will be a tad tighter than the factory tr3 floor because the transmission tunnel on the Mercedes is so large and very much a structural item. But not unusable. Of course we left the body of the tr3 stock for many reasons chiefly being we think it’s a timeless shape and want to leave it untouched. But also that adding or taking away exterior metal from it would disturb the 64 years or patina and natural color fading the body has. We don’t intend to body work or paint the car. Rather leave it looking as though it is a 64 car rusting away meanwhile a modern Mercedes lives under its skin.

Ambitious project. Fascinated to see your progress.

Thanks! Have you watched any other videos in the series?

[@ShaunHensley]

Colin get on that grinder!

[@Motormindz]

Simply can not comprehend why you did not extend the TR body at the doors.
Would take a day max

[@RedWhiteandBoosted]

60 years of patina. Classic and iconic design. Lengthening is silly. Combine that with the hit in the side.

You should have licensed the sound track to the dukes of hazard….😀

[@RedWhiteandBoosted]

Hahahahaha the duke boys are at it again

[@whistlingdiesel]

Have you ever considered to make the tr3 doors longer? Great project, btw.

[@whistlingdiesel]

Ahh, saw it in the other part, the wheelbase needs to match for the title.

[@RedWhiteandBoosted]

Eh not a matter of that, more the factory look is so perfect, why disturb it

[@ericbiggerstaff1680]

Why not just split the brit

[@whatsgoingon1011]

you really should lengthen the TR3 instead
