[TR] TR2 to TR3 Transition Question

[Dave]

The TR3 apron would have extra openings at the top inside of the opening for the grill for extra cooling to the engine compartment, where on the TR2 the opening was completely enclosed all the way to the egg crate grill.  TR3s should have holes for the forward mounting grill.  I think that some later TR2 aprons may have had trim partly, I think 3/4 surrounding the grill opening.  You may find evidence of these trim fitting holes filled.
