FOR SALE-  Unfinished 1960 TR3 project.   I bought this car as a unfinished project 7-8 years ago. The owner before me started the project in 1991 and did not finish it. Hopefully the next owner will be able to finish it.   I set a fair reserve  on this car. considering the amount of work and having it painted cost more than the reserve. If it does not meet reserve I will have to reconsider selling it.  


All the metal repair work was done by a shop the  previous owner had contracted. extensive repairs were done. The pictures with the body getting repaired are in a  folder giving to me from the previous owner during the repairs.  


All correct TR3 panels were used.  


-Inner rockers replaced


-outer rockers replaced 


-Drivers side floor replaced 


-passenger side floor replaced


-There is two small patched in the spare tire well ( refer to pictured)  


Plus a number of other repairs were done.  


Engine was rebuilt with a “ Big Bore Kit”  87mm.  

Transmission  ( supposed to be rebuilt )  I never had it opened to confirm.  


The car was fully painted in “ british racing green” 


When I bought the car. I had the body fully removed and repainted “metallic silver” .   The theme was a vintage rally racer .   This TR3  looks beautiful in silver.  

I was not going to install the front and rear bumpers ( looks much more like a vintage rally TR3 )  bumpers are included.  




I had the sound proofing installed in the cabin for noise and to keep engine heat from intruding into the cabin 


Lots of new parts installed- 


-High torque starter 


-New high quality TR3 brake lines 


-Front seats have been redone a few years ago.   There still in nice condition but a little storage rash.  


-Front brake Calipers rebuilt ( new brake pads) 


New clutch cylinders


New brake cylinders

 

Dashboard was redone in black 


New Correct TR3 fuel tank + fuel lines + rebuilt fuel pump - plus many more. that I cant think of.

 

Work to be done ( theres still lots of items that need to be finished and I am sure I'm forgetting things  ) 


-Front seats needs to be bolts

-Doors and fenders need to be bolted 

-New Robbins convertible top needs to be installed 

-front shocks needs to be installed 

-exhaust system needs to be installed 

-rear shocks need to be installed 

-new TR3 wiring harness is almost installed but dashboard area needs attention 

-door panels need to be redone 

-Carpets need to be installed 

-center vent needs to be installed 

-windshield lower rubber trim needs to be installed 



I have the owners original service booklet from the early 60's .   The mileage is correct with the miles on the speedometer  ( see pictures above) 


Lots of New parts in boxes- 

Brand new robbing fabric convertible top ( black ) 

hardware

door seals

panels 

5 steel wheel included 

only have the 4 wire wheels that are installed on the car.  

Ect.


This is a good solid project with good potential with a lot of the hard work done.  

Carburetors were rebuilt .   Engine starts but needs carbs tuned .   No clutch hydraulics or brakes are hooked up so IT IS NOT DRIVABLE . There is a few chips on paint from being in storage.  

THIS IS A PROJECT. A UNFINISHED PROJECT.  


Please ask any questions before bidding.  


I will help anyway I can with shipping. Shipping costs are the buyers responsibility .  

The shipping port will be Montreal. Quebec . Canada
