| Anti-roll bar poly to be fitted later |
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.

Paint job...
Over the past couple weeks while doing some the other jobs I've been cleaning and painting the front suspension parts for refitting when replacement ball joints and track rod ends are ordered.
Other parts like disks, dampers, springs, bump stops and gaiters will be bought later due financial pressured, It's hard to justified spending money on the car - food on the table comings first.

Front anti roll bar...
With both ends free, I removed the four bolts holding the anti roll bar to the subframe witch as you can see from my photos I had fitted a Anti-drive spacer blocks 30 years ago after reading a article in a magazine on improving the TR7 handling.
My father made them up for me because at the time no kits where available. 16mm spaces was the preferred size – lots of info on this subject has been written since, so I will need to see when fitting uprated bushes, spring and inserts what the correct size is.
