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.
While there's a strong
chance that some parts may be missing, because this is a Triumph, if a
particular part or trim piece is missing chances are excellent that not
only will I easily find a replacement part but I will probably be able
to buy that part new.
