Remembering back to the last time I removed the engine, having to jack up the rear to allow clearance over the front of the car was easy in my dads garage with the hoist on a RSJ allowing us to roll the engine along and down. This in my garage was going to be difficult so I decide to remove the gearbox which means only a vertical lift and roll the car.
I needed to support the back of the engine in the bay so it wouldn't damage the heater pipes coming through the bulk head.

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.
