Well as you may recall I sold my 76 TR7 resto and bought a much better condition 77 instead. Main reason for this was simply I paid less for this car that a respray would have cost on the other one, let alone all the other jobs that wanted doing so to recap............

Stood in a heated garage for 12 years without use but a new battery and a 12v feed to the coil saw it up and running. Straight in for an Mot and four new tyres, a brake rebuild and a couple of steering rack gaiters saw it though

Not all good news though, it was soon obvious the water pump was leaking and needed a replacement
