So keeping my eye on ebay for parts, I recently spotted a near side inner wing with a starting price of £50. I paid £180 for the other side.
Place my bid and won it for £50!! with £30 petrol to collect what a bargain - a repair panel would cost me £75-£90.
I now have the option to replace the whole panel or cut sections for repair.

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.
