I don't have experience with the TR3, but in the TR4 Shop manual there
is a diagram of lifting the body from one point. I used these points
when I did my TR4A. Basically its from around the hood hindge area
behind the front valance and from the top of the rear wheel wells. TR3
might be similiar??? Jerry Oliver
