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.
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.
