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.

Reseat the valves...
Using a valve grinding stick, I start with some coarse paste to remove the build-up of carbon and muck around each valve seats. Some values would have been in an open position for more than 20 years.
