- The last major repair for this project is the boot floor. After this is done we still have a whole bunch of small repairs, but these can be done in another day or two.... or three :)

The sheet metal and body work is where your talent is best used well done 🎉🎉
Marvelous work!
Nice job Elin it’s very tiring work and you do it well. Thanks for your hard work.
Great work Elin.. These cars take a lot of 'saving' when previous owners haven't kept on top of the tin worm .. I never had to replace a boot floor or spare wheel compartment but I've been near to people who were doing it. Every page of "The Book of Bodyworkers & Welders Blasphemies" was used twice over as the jobs estimated time allowance went into double figures. Respect to Phil for investing in this work and saving another TR-3 from the spare parts yard.
Looking like you are getting the hang of the Tr3’s now!
"It took way longer than I anticipated". Never heard that before...
Very nice,car has come a long way,your attention to making it right as what allows is good.just keep doing what your doing and on to the next.great video as always 😎😎😎👍👍👍
Maybe time for a sacrificial dolly with a bar welded to its back side to allow more force to be applied from further away.
Great job Elin! I have had to replace my TR6 floorboards and I know what it takes to break the spot welds, straighten the sheetmetal, clean up the spot weld nubs and all of the plug welds.
Thank you for this series!
Almost done and it's looking great.
It would be really cool if we could keep abreast of this project with photos of his progress. I bought a lovely restored 1958 TR3 in 2005, deep in the South Africa countryside for a now unbelievable price of $8,700. It looked so good but I hated driving it because it is so open at the side and the driver can feel so vulnerable. So, after just one month of showing it off around Knysna, I sold it on to an English tourist for a more sensible price of $15,000. These cars do not rise and fall in value much, but a 2005 US$ was worth about the same as 3 US$ today.
Looking great! On the home stretch now!
Great job!!!
Thanks Elin. Takes me back to working on my 1961 TR3A when I was 19.
I have a large mouth TR3 with the exact same issues that you’re addressing. Great educational series on what is involved. Nice job.
Nice work as usual Elin, (I can’t call the body structural in the normal sense due to going on to a frame) but this body is effectively as good as when new now, although probably a little bit “better fitting” than when it originally came out of the Triumph factory ha ha! 😁
Elin I just watched your “Garage Talk” video, where you mentioned that you were going to get away from car restoration of other people’s cars. I understand that as metal work is very time, and space, consuming.
However I think you may want to consider still doing engine/trans/OD rebuilding services. It would take up much less space in your garage, and provide some additional income.👍
That left front valence to fender bulge just catches your eye. I saw you lining it up so well.
Seeing the boot floor just slip into place was so satisfying! LOL It really was. Excellent work, as always. Thanks Eliin. Have a peaceful Sunday.
.,... thinking while every thing was lose, maybe a good time to fit the tyre bonnet....and the gasket seal.... cut up wrists, hands, working on old stuff...
How did anyone keep on top of TR3 body repairs in their racing days ????? 😮
Nice work
Don´t forget the dents on the end plate underneath. But good work, what is about the fender and the front mask on the right side?
Elin, another great series. Question: where was the boot floor panel sourced from ? Fire ? They are back in production ? thks - John
Better to clean the paint off the areas to be welded and use weld-through primer on the overlapping flanges.
Because he grinds down the welds afterwards anyway !
