Need Transmission Back!

 Transmission has been out for for over 3 weeks.  Was easy to get out:

Transmission guy says the overdrive had lots of dirt in it.  He dismantled it, no apparent worn or broken pieces, hopefully a good cleaning will get it working.  Will also replace 4 gaskets and 2 oil seals.  The transmission itself looks very good too, so not further dismantle planned there.

Steering wheel is almost done by guy in NY.  He had difficulty getting threads re-established for set screws for control head.  

Speaking of control head ie. trafficator, we elected to purchase a rebuilt one instead of an aftermarket replacement.  This guy Dave does an excellent job:

We also removed the stator tube (long tube that goes through middle of steering column for trafficator and horn wiring) and confirmed it's in great shape:

So looking forward to steering wheel so we can install the trafficator!

Got the rear bumpers installed:

Front bumpers arrived from Vietnam, had to buy new brackets, all this is installed.  Had some interference between the brackets and front apron, but got that resolved:

Started on the interior in the rear.  Capping, wheel arch covers, and rear panels installed:

Rear panel and carpeting will be done next.  Then we need that transmission back to finish the interior!

Happened to find an extra piece of metal tubing laying around, found it is the overflow for the fuel tank, got it installed.  Can be seen at top of fuel tank in above picture.

Have a friend who got new whitewall tires for his TR3.  His old ones were dated 2002 but looked like new.  And have not been exposed to sunlight.  So we are installing these and will let the next owner decide about getting fresh tires.
