Picked up a TR3 last week, TS44871 LO, from outside of San Antonio, TX

Yes, that's an overdrive car, and pretty original, with the OD still on it.
the engine is out, and looks like the head was rebuilt, then never really
installed.  Its just sitting on the studs.  And the engine does turn easily.
No carbs.  Body in pretty good shape; was originally light blue and then was
repainted gray (poorly).

Interior is also in pretty good shape and there's just a small bit of rust
here and there.  steering wheel is not cracked anywhere!!

It has the optional ashtray; does anyone know if this is an original?  Was
it an Amco part?  I've enclosed a picture.

And check out the Dzus wrench that came with it!!!  also has a tool roll and
the hand crank.

Then - the top, hoodstick cover, and tonneau are better than to be expected,
but they've all shrunk at least an inch or two

I looked it up and supposedly heat and/or steam will help.  I guess I will
find out.  anyone done that?
