[TR] 58 TR3A battery box

[dave northrup]

According to this video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOQ900QdOh8    the battery box is held in by a bunch of spot welds.  I am going to let my body guy take it out and put in a new box.

The acquisition of this car was described in a recent issue of TRA Magazine; the gray car acquired out of Bulverde, TX.  It is an LO car; otherwise I would not have given it a second look.  

It is also described here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJruEFYdT3k

The engine has already been rebuilt; the overdrive unit was moved to a TR6 transmission and both rebuilt.  I am currently in the process of taking it apart; it will go to Dip-Strip Technologies in Brenham, TX.  Then new battery box and a few patches and body cleanup - for example the hole for the antenna and the holes for wing mirrors (there are several) will be welded up.  Then paint and interior and assembly.  I plan to go with the light blue exterior and dark blue interior with white piping.
