my 58 Tr-3.... its been living under boxes and stuff for a few years. we moved, and in the process of letting dad borrow it, we've been going thru the car. couple of new ball joints, valve adjustment, resynched (resunk?) the carbs, put the front bumper back on, oil change (1st one this century!).
i think all we've got left is to bleed the brakes and pay the registration...

i bought it in 2001, someone traded it in for a miata. we came in monday and it was just sitting there....
i drove it until from then to 2004, we did a few car shows and stuff (its a nice driver).
then i decided to rebuild the front suspension, and the carbs, and um i finished, but it just got stuck in the garage

car is actually pretty fun to drive too, its 100hp/2200lbs so its not slow, and its got a similar connected to the driver feeling as the FB.
it also sounds awesome when you crack the throttle, when we dug it up and drove it around, you can't help but smile

newly registered, and i've so far daily driven it this week.
BTW if you think the 1st gen is a pita, you should try a piston engine with 2 carbs.
