I've been looking for a donor car for a while now and finally found one - 1978 white auto with a black/red check interior (result!) which has been parked in a garage for the six years with a fuel leak problem.
It has a V5 and on Sorn and only £200 + pickup costs!
There has been lots of welding under the bonnet and all the usual rusty bits, but lots of good parts and trim.
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.
