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.

A week of WD-40...
So after a week of socking the tops of the strut and no movement it was time for heat. With a new gas cartridge fitted and the strut held in the vice by the retaining nut – I gently heated the surrounding area. Using a large ring spanner on the other end, it unscrewed like a hot knife through butter or WD-40!
