1959 Triumph TR3A Restoration Project, Front Fender and Body Mount Repairs.

[@BruceBoschek]

That thumbnail makes me uncomfortable. 😂 That was some amazing tin work on those front wings. It is always a pleasure to see things get done as correctly as possible. The first time I sat in a brand new TR3A was in 1959. I was smitten, but as so often happens in life I would never own, drive or even ride in a TR3. It may not be too late as a member of Rusty Beauties is rebuilding one presently and he only lives about 120km away. He is presently unaware of his good fortune that I plan to bring him a box of chocolates when the car is on the street again and am looking forward to a ride.

Great how to video. When I saw the thumbnail for this episode I thought you had a new logo or maybe a tee shirt.

[@cheftush]

I do like the cartoon look!

Good morning David! 😁🇬🇧

[@cheftush]

Morning Phil, thanks for stopping by.

Nice job, Tush. Think they used enough spot welds, lol? Keep the camera rolling!

[@cheftush]

Yeah, you might have fun with these on yours!

[@johnmoruzzi7236]

Interesting, tricky repair ! Not an unreasonable failure point for such a basic old car. I suppose being in the wheelwell and with the bracket mount and inner wings just being pulled together, there is scope over the years for water to penetrate between the surfaces and sit there rotting the metal. Hopefully a smear of modern seam sealer and a coat of epoxy primer will now prevent this !

[@cheftush]

@@johnmoruzzi7236 yes, definitely needs seem sealer…I did actually weld three areas across the top of the brackets as well.

Hi David you must have been brushing up on your guitar skills by the sound of your backing track 😂

[@cheftush]

I wish I could play guitar that well…I only play bass ( not well either 😉)

[@philtucker1224]

Elin you must have had insider information so your disqualified 😁

[@philtucker1224]

Sorry, you’re.
