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.

New photo from 1986...
Found another photo of the TR at the weekend - 3rd May 1986 my wedding day. Pictured outside the reception waiting for us, a drive to the airport and two weeks in Ibiza!

Photo updates...
Almost out of the garage, with the seized brakes removed, it's easier to manoeuvre the car around.
My garage was converted from an old out-building which had the end brick wall removed and double doors fitted, but with different ground levels – I have a 3" drop to the driveway.
So with the engine still in place, I didn't risk not being able to push it back if it rained.
The original Peco back box I fitted is out of it's 12 months guarantee – by 23 years!
This is my daily ride, Saab 93 Aero Hot convertible which I've owned for 6 years.
