[Fot] Car on a wall

[Bill Babcock]

It's a Bitsa TR3 that I'm building as a street car. I bought a failed resto project out of Utah a few years ago, mostly for the parts. the guy had disassembled three TR3s to build one. Most of the body parts were junk, but there was one good body already painted red, three good frames, three engines, no good transmissions, tons of rusty crap, etc. I guess officially it's a 1960. it's on the lift because I'm still building it. It will be fairly hot. Rack and pinion steering, improved suspension, the mild race motor that was originally in the Ambro, TR6 trans with OD, quaife rear end, etc. 

The white body is from the new mold, the same one that Joe's car came from. It's not a great piece of fiberglass, I should have rented the mold and had someone lay up a seriously light and strong body. But it's better than the 250 pound thing on the wall.
