One of my triumph buddies wanted to get a rough tr3 so he could ramble
around in a rat rod - so to speak.he has a sweet tr250 that lives in a
plastic bubble in his garare. He wanted something he did not have to worry
about. He paid too much on ebay and it was not as represented - the front
of the frame was Swiss cheese.

We started disasemmlbing it and the grill was warped and bent and did not
fit well at all.

Immedatiaely we stopped and tried to reassemble - no way

So we put the front apron on the car and it was really tweaked.   A few
hours later - with some force and 2x4's and more force - we finally got the
apron to fit without a huge amount of pressure.  There was some sorting out
to do.

More than a few minutes with the hammer and dolly and it was fitting well.

The grill fit a ton better - but not perfiect. We'll work on that some more
later - but until then - he has a driver!
