Smiley face is great, now where is the transformation car, and don't forget many, many pictures please?
 
brakes completely rebuilt upgraded the rotors Also found my car had Allumn. drums in the rear along with Mosier Axles :)

I replaced all the fluid in the brake system just incase there was water in it.

Good stuff, sounds like between the 3 or 4 of you working on the car that very soon you'll have saved another TR from being gone and being reborn to be enjoyed again as it should be. :D

Richard Clark supplied the facility and TONs of knowledge. Turbobusa69 (John) did all the work building the motor and machining it at Richards shop. Mike did all the body work and paint at Richards shop. Mike Dobbins did the boring of the motor and building the heads. These guys Love these cars and helped me get it to where it is today. I hope to have it back on the raod in the next few weeks. I am sure there will be some gremlins but hey what can you expect its been to the bottom of a lake and lets face it is a GN they have Gremlins.... :)

Did you ever find out any more info behind how it got into the lake? I'm sure there's an interesting story to be told there...and makes the history of the car that more exciting.
