It's a Bitsa TR3 that I'm building as a street car. I bought a failed =
resto project out of Utah a few years ago, mostly for the parts. the guy =
had disassembled three TR3s to build one. Most of the body parts were =
junk, but there was one good body already painted red, three good =
frames, three engines, no good transmissions, tons of rusty crap, etc. I =
guess officially it's a 1960. it's on the lift because I'm still =
building it. It will be fairly hot. Rack and pinion steering, improved =
suspension, the mild race motor that was originally in the Ambro, TR6 =
trans with OD, quaife rear end, etc.=20

The white body is from the new mold, the same one that Joe's car came =
from. It's not a great piece of fiberglass, I should have rented the =
mold and had someone lay up a seriously light and strong body. But it's =
better than the 250 pound thing on the wall.=20
