[Fot] TR3 front apron help

[Greg Blake]

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.

We’re nearly done stripping it so we can do a color change and we’ve pulled a donor 1500 drivetrain from a late model Spit. We’re only 2 months in but she’s still got enthusiasm. Here she is removing brake lines.
