Now I have the new bushes and brake pipe kits, I can rebuild for fit later when the body work is complete.
Looking good – shame it's under the car!
Axle assembly 8hrs
Propshaft 2hrs
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.

Cleaning and painting...
With the rear suspension, axle and propshaft removed, I have stripped them back to bear metal and painted them black.
Now I have the new bushes and brake pipe kits, I can rebuild for fit later when the body work is complete.

Propshaft removed...
After marking both front & rear flanges with a centre point to ensure correct refitting, I unbolted and removed.
I have seen it's recommended to refit in the reversed position i.e. CB joint to the rear axle - need to find out why.
