Time to refit the rear axle so I can move and turn the car. Next big job to remove the engine.
Using new ploy bushes I assemble the axle, tie bar and trailing arms. Then using the old shocks and springs for the moment as I will be under sealing and refitting the fuel tank later.
All went back together very easily other then having to adjust brake pads so the drums would fit.

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.

Trailing arm, rear tie bar and anti roll bar...
After rubbing down and painting I fitted the new poly bushes. Using some of the wife's washing up liquid to lubricate they pushed in easily.
The anti roll bar was also stripped and painted.
