It’s time to fit the axle!
I got the axle cleaned, painted and back together and on the car.
The car is finally going back together! I started with the fuel tank in this episode.
After failing to get the engine running, it was time to tear it down and see what was wrong with it. It turned out to be a bigger challenge than I was expecting…
I bought an engine off eBay for just £40. But is it any good?
After all the weeks and months of prep work, it’s finally time to get the TR7 painted!
It’s finally time – the TR7 is stripped of paint and now it’s time to finish up the bodywork and get her ready for paint!
In this episode, I strip all the old paint from the car and deal with the last bit of rust before finally spraying her with some epoxy primer.
I bought this old flame gun (weed burner) at an auction. It nearly got binned as being too far gone, but after a closer look I thought it deserved a restoration…
In this installment, I build a dolly for the front of my TR7 and get her ready to move. Now I can move her forward, I can make a start on the back end of the car.
