While many old car enthusiasts won't consider buying a basket case project such as this, to me there are far more positives than negatives. For one thing there's the price; if this TR3A had been complete and rolling it would have cost at least twice what I paid for it, probably more.

Having been disassembled already, this saved me a ton of painstaking and dirty work. With the car being in pieces, it's easier to inspect the body, chassis and all the ancillary components much more thoroughly because nothing is hidden.
