The level was very stiff at first but after 30mins it began to free up after soaking in the hot fluids.
Using wire wool I prepared the surfaces and gave it a coat of satin black.

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.

Fuel pump cleaned...
I had removed the fuel pump from the donor car, but mine was in better condition with less surface rust on the top. I stripped it down and popped it in the cleaner for hour.

Fuel Pump and Carburettors...
Removed fuel pipes, fitter and fuel pump to give me access to the four nuts on each carb. Carefully lifted off the pair of SU HS6 carburetors with linkage into a box for storing – I will be cleaning/painting as I overhaul and service them later. New fuel pipes and fitter will be required. Flexible mounting rubbers removed and checked.
Also removed dipstick and tube.
