Beans Posted October 19, 2009 Author Share Posted October 19, 2009 Switched my attention to some of the cars switch gear.

GTRoger Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 I'M BLIND! I'M BLIND! I'M BLIND! 😀 Just seen it in the flesh and it's very GREEN!

Raider Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Your car is going to look very good out and about Theo.I saw a Triton green DHC being driven in an enthusiastic manner on the A1 last year and it looked fabulous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raider Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 I can't describe how fantastic your car looks Theo.That last picture is simply wonderful - who needs a Ferrari If it wasn't for the cabinet behind it that could have been a professional photoshoot.It really shows how futuristic the TR7 was is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beans Posted October 29, 2009 Author Share Posted October 29, 2009 Quoted from Raider ...If it wasn't for the cabinet behind it that could have been a professional photoshoot ... Shouldn't be too difficult to Photoshop the cabinet away, actually not a bad idea really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beans Posted November 4, 2009 Author Share Posted November 4, 2009 Last weekend I had a go at wax-oiling all the box-sections of the cars body.Filthy stuff (I have the feeling I still smell the greasy stuff) but I think I covered all the problem areas, a few pictures ...A few places will get an extra bit of the sticky stuff, just to be sure, especially the rear of the sills were they meet the B-post ...... and the seams between inner and outer wings ...

Beans Posted November 5, 2009 Author Share Posted November 5, 2009 Busied myself with the fresh-air-duct tonight.

Beans Posted November 19, 2009 Author Share Posted November 19, 2009 Last week I picked up a fairly heavy box from a friend ...As a tryout I installed the first sound deadening pad, an easy one just to see how the material felt and behaved when being applied ...Actually wasn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beans Posted November 29, 2009 Author Share Posted November 29, 2009 Picked up the boot lid yesterday.Was (at last) painted last Thursday, together with the bonnet and front spoiler.Was quite difficult/impossible to get the boot-lid straight.Turned out that the boot lid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beans Posted December 2, 2009 Author Share Posted December 2, 2009 Tonight I fitted the sound proofing pads.Despite the fact, that it took a fair bit longer to fit the pads than planned, it was a rather rewarding evenings work.The spare wheel well ...Rear bulk head panel ...Left hand floor area ...Hope to finish the soundproofing this weekend.So the moment I can start with the re-assembly is slowly but surely drawing near 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
