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.

Engine breakdown... pt8
A quick first look at the crankshaft, it has some surfaces rust. The last time I looked in here the thrust washers had dropped out and the crank and block was badly chewed up.
This replacement block and crank looks ok, but I will need to check the end float and probably renew the thrust washers while its stripped.
