TR3A Project

So, my '59 TR3A made it from the other coast the other day. Started unpacking boxes of spares and whatnot yesterday and attacked a leaky fuel pump today. Next up is tires (might be harder than finding them for my 9" Fuchs).
Engine is good / rebuilt, shifts well, brakes/hydraulics recently refurbed.

Going to need some (a ton?) of body work, paint, interior, etc so should keep me busy for a long while. Unlike the 911, I'm going to do whatever I want, originality be damned. Cafe racer a la Magnus?? Thought I'd do a build thread here since the Brit car forums aren't nearly as much fun.

A few pics to follow, the car (PO shot), sweet vintage hubcaps, original owner's manual, etc.
