After hitting Sainsbury's early for the Christmas food shop, which was madness, I took refuge in the garage.
Decided it's time to remove the exhaust – the tailpipe and center box fell off [literally].
The front down pipe and manifold proved to be difficult with seized nuts and bolts. The three center bolts the manifold didn't match any for my spanners or sockets, so I said to myself it’s time for a beer and Christmas TV!
Merry Christmas to all.

This is my record of the restoration of my 1977 Triumph TR7, I bought the car in 1983 for £1500. Over the four years of driving it I had got married, moved to a 110 year old cottage in need of renovation and given a new company car. The TR was parked in the garage (1987) at the end of the garden. I always joked saying "that one day I put it back on the road". Twenty-four years later (Nov 2011) that day has arrived - wish me luck.
