  1. The administrative and financial part of the DHC's damage has been sorted. So I can now start with parts hunting and the actual repairs. https://tr7beans.blogspot.com/2022/12/dhc-repairs-part-0.html
  2. I have fitted various electronic ignitions to my TR7's On both cars I kept the ballast wire and 6V coil. Just connect the live feed for the unit from a 12V source.
  3. Spent some more time on the DHC over the weekend in order to finish the quotation for the insurance. https://tr7beans.blogspot.com/2022/11/dhc-damage-assessment-part-5.html
  4. Removed a fair amount of bent and crushed metal from the front of the DHC over the past few weeks https://tr7beans.blogspot.com/2022/11/dhc-damage-assessment-part-4.html
  5. Yes, looking for a shop who can do a good quality respray. But moving the car from the Netherlands to the UK will be time and money consuming!
  6. I hope so. But finding a good quality paint shop might well be a challenge!
  7. Decided how to tackle the DHC’s repairs today https://tr7beans.blogspot.com/2022/11/dhc-damage-assessment-part-3.html
  8. The DHC finally returned to the shed, time for more damage assessments https://tr7beans.blogspot.com/2022/10/dhc-damage-assessment-part-2.html
  9. The DHC returned from Italy earlier this week, with a last stopover at a friend's workshophttps://tr7beans.blogspot.com/2022/10/dhc-damage-assessment-part-1.html
  10. The last 10CR with night time driving (through the Czech Republic, Germany and Austria) was in 2015 😉
  11. I finished the back bone for the ’76 car’s main harness over the weekend https://tr7beans.blogspot.com/2022/10/fhc-resto-nr-144-main-harness-part-2.html
  12. Still waiting for the DHC to return home, so I started on the last bit of wiring for the '76 car, the main harness https://tr7beans.blogspot.com/2022/10/fhc-resto-nr-143-main-harness-part-1.html
  13. Hopefully the DHC is back on the road by then 🧐
  14. It is on its way back home (well to a friends workshop) since last week. Should probably take 3 to 4 weeks. As soon as it returns I can start planning its repairs, and probably the discussion with the insurance. But I will remain positive for the time being 🤔
  15. Sadly this years edition of Club Triumphs 10 Countries Run ended somewhat abruptly So it looks like I have another (extra) project at hand in the near future … https://tr7beans.blogspot.com/2022/09/club-triumphs-10-countries-run-2022.html
  16. How old is your SaNav? If it is an older device you might have to cut up the various days in smaller sections. Or it might be the memory(card) is full.
  17. If you are driving in an old oil smoking barrel you might have a problem when you bump into the law 🤪
  18. In Germany you need proof that the vehicle is at least 30 years old and it should be in good condition.
  19. Biggest loose nut is probably behind the 'wheel 🤪
  20. That should be the car’s last preparations for the upcoming 10 Countries Run? https://tr7beans.blogspot.com/2022/08/ready-for-10cr.html
  21. I found a slightly loose track rod end lock nut during the recent check. So for peace of mind I'll have the car's tracking checked over later in the week.
  22. The front brakes and suspension got some attention in preparation for the 10 Countries Run which will start in a little over a week from now. https://tr7beans.blogspot.com/2022/08/almost-ready-for-10cr.html
  23. Very neat solution, thx for sharing!
