My brother-in-law had Memory Lane Motors in the Seattle area for 20 years. People who had spent a lot of money restoring their car and decided to sell would bring them in to see about selling on consignment. With parts, paint, tires and wheels, new upholstery, etc, it was very easy to have more in their car than the market would support. I didn’t buy my car with investment in mind, I just wanted one, and when it comes times to sell I’ll get what I can. Mike

Do all nine original R3 cars still exist, and I wonder if there are still any 3 speed cars that haven’t been converted?

And did you build your own brackets to attach it to?

Thanks guys. Michael have you sold any more? And thanks to A0136 for packing it back from the meet. Mike

Got the air dam mounted.

I hope to get my air dam installed today and post a photo. Mike

I agree. More about protection than look.

Grant Got my new 7/8” front bar mounted. I didn’t have enough room to slide the bar over far enough to get the other side in, but I didn’t have any trouble raising the bracket up. Held the end bolts with a needle nose vice grip. Hardest part was getting the new brackets bent into shape so the holes would line up. is there a final verdict in swapping for the shorter steering arms? People happy with the results? Mike

Maybe I could find a used rusty one and paint it black.

I haven’t checked but I’m guessing factory grilles are pretty scarce?

I agree with the black for the grille. Lots of options for materials out there.

No holes and no grille. 3 options - try and find a factory grille, build a grille, or leave it out.

My 83 has no grille and I don’t see how one would be attached. Parts book isn’t much help. Looks like lots of options on materials. I’ve painted the air dam I got from Michael Phillips and was considering fabricating a grille as I was flopping around on the floor installing that. Mike

Anyone have any experience with this company and their grille material? https://www.customcargrills.com/index.asp

Thanks Grant, I’m going to give that a try here in the next week or so. Mike
