Carefully flipping the engine over gave me access the to the sump pan, after give all the bolts and nuts a good covering of WD40, I removed the front left hand engine support member/bracket then lifted off the sump.
In the bottom was a very thick layer of old oil which I sharped out and cleaned off the remaining gasket.

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.
