Folks. Need some help with the shape of the lower section (below the grill o=
pening) of the front apron on a large mouth TR3. I cut up and welded new met=
al on the front of the race car and I=E2=80=99m pretty sure it is no where n=
ear the stock profile.=20

My 14 year old son and I are rebuilding his 3 and it has obviously met a few=
 curbs in it day. The lower section is folded back and I don=E2=80=99t have a=
 good goby to make templates.=20

Can one of you fellow 3 care takers send us a to scale profile of that lower=
 section?  I think one for middle and one for each side just inside the bump=
er plinths would get us close enough. I=E2=80=99d really appreciate the help=
, so would Will the owner.=20

Attached is a photo of Will working the rear corner that had 1/2=E2=80=9D of=
 bondo when we stepped the car.  He is grinding off the remnants of the stud=
s he used to pull the dent  properly =20=

Hey Greg, nice to see an update on Will=E2=80=99s progress. Here is an updat=
e on my 14 year old Ella=E2=80=99s Herald restoration. We=E2=80=99re nearly d=
one stripping it so we can do a color change and we=E2=80=99ve pulled a dono=
r 1500 drivetrain from a late model Spit. We=E2=80=99re only 2 months in but=
 she=E2=80=99s still got enthusiasm. Here she is removing brake lines.

She was never into our Triumphs until she saw the Herald and said it looks l=
ike Nancy Drew=E2=80=99s car... whatever it takes to get that first taste of=
 the Triumph drug.

Do you worry like I do about all the effort going into this car that is very=
 likely going to get wrecked???

That’s awesome Dusty. I keep asking Will if he is up for the heat, smell, and unreliability...he just smiles and says he will be the only one in the parking lot. I always laugh and tell him I was the only Triumph in my high school Parking lot in 1990. 

At this point, I hope they both get the opportunity to drive to school some day. Fingers crossed.
