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.

Down under pt3...
After cleaning up the rear floorpan area it was time to tackle the surface rust with a converter. Using Hammerite Rust Beater as my first stage, followed by good coat of Stone Clip. Then I will be finishing it off getting into all the hidden areas with Waxoyl.

Down under pt2...
I continued today with the cleaning of the rear floorpan around the fuel tank area and the left side wheel arch, using a hot air stripper to soften the old under-seal. Then with a rag and white spirit to cleaned the surface.
Next step will be to treat the rusty surfaces with a rust converter followed by a coat of black stone chip paint. Then at a later stage the whole underside will be Waxoyl sealed.
