Nice to have you back David with a new project 👍🇬🇧
Thank You Phillip. Much Appreciated
That was real progress! And you resisted the siren call of the PI TR6!
You really stay busy my friend. Like they say, "It is hard to hit a moving target!". Jerry 😎👍
….and I’m a very big target 😉
thanks Chef All of your videos will be especially helpful when I start on the TR2 when the snow clears (Manitoba is getting another blast of winter right now). I really like the bits where you park the camera and show us you doing the repair in full action. I liked the full calf exposure when MIG welding. I learned that MIG does not throw sparks. John.
A nice MIG spark on your exposed calf can make for some exciting and interesting video 😉
@@cheftush and cut down on your leg art bill at the tattoo parlour.
those dang critters probably didn't even pay rent! Those holes in the lower rear apron are so you can reach in and replace the cage nuts... ;-) Good to see the TR3 content!
It’s amazing where they can get into!
Missed you bro, glad you’re back 🙌
Hey! Great to see You. Thanks for stopping by.
Great to see you back in action!
Happy to be back! Thanks.
Great project 😊
Zoom zoom
Thank you! Cheers!
Nice work, David, and good to see that proper Coventry sheet metal was used for the repair!
😀I try to stay with vintage replacement metal so that it can all rust together in unison
Very informative.
Dave I’m am finding these close-up very technical repairs totally fascinating. Really excellent work 👍
Glad you like them!
Come on Chef, you know you are always supposed to clean front to back. LOL. Cool new project, woohoo!
You just made my day. TR3's Rule!
I’m happy to help where I can 😉
Good that pieces like those closing panels are available! Looking forward to seeing another TR3 come to life. Thanks for the good video and have a good week.
I’m thinking wire wheels on this one Bruce…
But when you compare the aftermarket closing panel to the original one with the indented area, it just looks like they don't even care for the details :(
Maybe Tush should invest in a bead roller, the closing panel looks like a perfect job for that 🙂
@@crasbee as I mentioned, there are two styles…I think the earlier ones are superseded by the later ones like I have…I’d worry more if they were seen, but these won’t see the light of day for another 50 years possibly 😉
@@cheftush Yes! Classy. 😎
Finally its starting
Yes, now that the TR250 is out of the way, I can jump back to the TR3 project.
I have been waiting and watching that car out in the snow since you put it out there.must be 7 years?
@@vwbusguy yeah, it’s been probably 6 years at least.
Great work Chef.
The metal piece you cut out at 14:40, where the bondo is sticking at the back, is a really good example of "ooh, it doesn't look too bad on the outside" and then you see the inside and see that there's really not much left 😅
Agreed! It sure makes you feel like you did the right thing by cutting it out….
You made that look simple, I wish mine was even close to that shape…. Total redo will require a little more patience😢
You will get there!
Nice job, Chef. Nice, old TR3.
Nice start ( sort of... maybe better to call it a restart) to another great project. Having the frame and some of the other stuff already done on the 59 will help you move the whole thing ahead a little quicker. Thanks for the update.
Great video. I’ve got one with this exact same problem so this helps a bunch. The PO did the floors butnot the sills so I don’t know what things looked like originally so I’m hoping to see you tackle them.
The floors are done in this car as well…the sills have been done but I might need to do a bit of work on them as well…stay tuned!
When I said done, I didn’t mean properly. 😞
When you were considering metal patch material I had my fingers crossed that your license plates were off limits.
Maybe license plates are restricted for floor repairs only ?
Enjoying this restoration.
Cheers John from Whitby
Oh, in a pinch, I believe licence plates are fair game for everything 😉
All that work accomplished without waking the neighbors! (Hopefully)
No one came over and yelled at me 😉
Thanks for the video Cheftush! You and Elin are quite the dynamic duo him on engine rebuilds and you on bodies. Is this T-600 or so? 😁
I’m hoping it’s less than T-600, but no promises…I’m not doing that again 😉
Good call removing the rear valance RH corner piece, I hope you found suitable lodging for the ex-occupants. The other Canadian guy who repairs Triumphs has his own store. He sells coffee mugs, T shirts, ball caps. I'm just saying.....
I think the Mice joined the squirrel that’s living behind the bins in my garage 😉
Oooh...new project. Exciting :-) What are the plans.... as you already have a "race-themed" one, can I assume this will be an "as-original" as possible ?
Yes, this will be more original looking with wire wheels ( I think 😉) I still might do a few “upgrades” like rack and pinion steering etc.
Hi Cheftush, can we address the elephant in the room; is Mr Yakov going to be receiving the 59 tub for his project or the 57 tub?
59
I hope the new part is painted inside, this black paint is only to safe it for rust in the warehouse?
That black paint on the closing panel is electrostatic painted.
@@cheftush okay
