With the gearbox removed I can get on and finish the floorpan. Started by drilling out the pop rivets holding the sound insulation to the transmission tunnel. This also allowed me to remove the old brake pipe that runs along the prop shaft.
After a cleaning off the grease/oil and rubbing down some surface rust with wire wool, I then gave the area a coat of Hammerite Kurust to seal.

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.
