At each stage today I've been cleaning off the old gaskets and bagging the items up with the bolts, washers and brackets etc.
I will need to check the pump is ok and overhaul if required.

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.

Engine breakdown... pt4
With the inlet manifold off I had access to the water pump. Removing the three bolts and a couple gently taps with my hide hammer to split the joint the cover lifted away, then using a spanner I turned the pump clockwise it lifted out.
