Also have new ball joints to fit the track arms, I had a quick try at fitting one, but going need the right tools or pop down the local garage for help.

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.

Steering rack ready to turn...
With replacement track rod ends supplied from Robsport (great service and shipping - thanks) I cleaned off all old grease and then re-greased the rack main inner shaft and track rod ball joints, refitted the cleaned gaiters. After wire brushing the threads I fitted the new track rod ends. Just need get some wire clips for the gaiters.

Paint job...
Over the past couple weeks while doing some the other jobs I've been cleaning and painting the front suspension parts for refitting when replacement ball joints and track rod ends are ordered.
Other parts like disks, dampers, springs, bump stops and gaiters will be bought later due financial pressured, It's hard to justified spending money on the car - food on the table comings first.
