- It's not only possible, it's actually pretty reasonable IF you take the approach of paying a professional to do a full, frame-off restoration. Think 2000 hours labor times $45/hour, plus parts and m

- I have heard that professional restorers charge their $45 per hr. while they are looking for parts, in other words, any time they spend on any phase of restoration, is billed. I don't know,for sure b

- I know...I find it hard to believe too. My first response was that it would be very hard to spend $100,000 to restore a TR3 if you tried to. It's probably a story that's grown locally as it got told.
