DHC repairs #2: More bodyshell disassembling


I spent a few more hours in the shed over the weekend. Or more disassembling of the DHC’s original bodyshell. Quite pleased with the progress so far. The doors are completely stripped, as is the interior safe for a few small parts that are pop-riveted in position. And I forgot to take the (cordless) drill with me to the shed. So a few more pictures of the shell’s condition;





Judging by the shell’s overall condition so far, the plans for the car’s repairs might shift a little. More on that later!

And to close this post one of those discoveries that makes one wonder why the British car industry didn’t survive. This was found underneath the sound deadening material in the driver’s footwell. Never seen such a part on a TR7 before. So wondering what it might be!?

Hi Matt, looks indeed like one, but never seen one like this on a TR7 before 🤔
