I made up a couple of fix plates and re-riveted them back on after a coat of paint.

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.

Heat shield...
Between the starter motor and exhaust is a heat shield. One of the clips had broken off and the other was wobbly.
I made up a couple of fix plates and re-riveted them back on after a coat of paint.

Starter motor...
So it's been a couple of weeks - the day job been getting in the way!
I started by stripped out the starter motor from the donor and decided mine was the better of the two.
After partly dismantling the motor I remove the solenoid to help when cleaning parts, then I painted them with black gloss.
The heat shield is soaking in the cleaner and will give it a quick coat high temp to finish it off.

Starter motor...
With the exhaust manifold removed, I removed the three bolts and lifted out the starter motor.
Also removed the battery leads.
