In preparation for the rebuild everything needs cleaning, so with the ultrasonic cleaner set a 99 minutes I started with the camshaft caps and bolts, crank big caps, cylinder head studs, bolts washers and on and on and on...
The timing cover has been soaking for about a week in degreaser and still very dirty - I think this going to need blasting or something.

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.
