Happy New Year to all!
   
  The wife says it is time to get the '58 TR3 painted and put together. She 
wants to drive it . It is going through a quick (it has only been 5 years so 
far) frame off restoration. The body is going to get a great Black paint job as 
soon as the painter has a spot open up. It is being done as fill in, sort of 
like a "government job", to keep the cost down.
   
  I need to buy a complete engine from carbs to oil pan for this project. 
Condition is not too important, as I will be doing a rebuild before I install 
it in the car. I am an hour north of Los Angeles and can travel some to pick up 
or possibly have it shipped. I would consider Northern CA to Tucson AZ to be in 
my driving range. 
   
    The TR3 was raced back in the 1970's and I put the engine from it in my '63 
TR4 race car. The TR3 is going to be a street car so the Kastner F cam and 12:1 
compression of the race engine will not be needed.
   

  If anyone can help, you can reply off list to earthron@yahoo.com or 
TR3a1958@yahoo.com. Or call me 9am to 10pm Pacific time @ 818 571-4355
   
  Thanks,
  Ron
