I have
been rather busy with lots of things over the past 6 months or so. Sadly my TR7's
haven't been much part of that. But time moves on, and last Thursday it was
exactly 40 years ago that my current restoration project was first registered (and in the Netherlands). So time for a little bit of history, or how the car used to
be in her previous life, and as I bought her ...
Looking
back at some of the work already done, dismantling finished ...
Metalwork finished:
Paint preparations and painting:
Various ...
The initial plan had been to finish the restoration
by the time she turned 40, and thus being tax exempt. But I abandoned that
schedule well over a year ago. Initially caused by the paint preparations
taking longer than planned. But also by work that had to be carried out (or
actually is still in progress) on the Defender I bought well over a year ago as
my daily driver. And there's my work of course which takes a lot of my spare
time, together with my other hobbies, the trumpet(s) and my camera's :-). To be continued!
