Normally I do frame-off restorations, but I just found a TR3 which had sat since 2010. Apart from spots on the spare tire cover and floor, the car is rust-free and I don’t think it has been restored in the past. So I think I will just get it driving and let someone else decide if they want to drive it or restore it. I put oil in each cylinder yesterday and changed the oil and filter. Today I spun the engine and we have oil pressure. Tomorrow I’ll see if there is a spark and then see if I can get it going.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#1F497D'>Andrew Uprichard<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#1F497D'>Jackson, Michigan<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b>From:</b> Triumphs <triumphs-bounces@autox.team.net> <b>On Behalf Of </b>Paul Tegler<br><b>Sent:</b> Tuesday, July 13, 2021 4:52 PM<br><b>To:</b> triumphs@autox.team.net<br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [TR] Starting car after storage<o:p></o:p></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p>...just pulled a car out of a 3 yr hibernation...had to pull the dist and cam gear to manually spin up the oil pump with a drill .
