I need to get some high temperature paint to finish off the top coat – black or racing boy red?

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.

Rear brake drum...
With the brake drums removed from the car, I wired brushed the surface rust off and cleaned the pad faces with wet & dry. Then using Hammerite's Kurust I coated the inside and inside surfaces.

Down under pt4...
Ok so it was my birthday and I spent 4 hours under the car painting!
Using black Hammerite to seal all the rear floorpan from the rear bulk head to the bumper fittings including inner wheel arches and spare wheel floor.
If you look at the last pic showing prop shaft which I haven't touch yet you can see the contrast – when the final Waxoyl is applied it should be well protected.
