This blog stuff...

Harder than I thought. Trying to find time to do will doing my A-levels is hard! If you couldn't tell I'm telling a back stoy here a bit and I got the car last June or so. I'm trying to catch up a bit. When I got the car I knew I wanted to take it all apart. It not that I didn't trust the previous owner, it's just that I wanted everything to my standard and how I would want it. Also, it would seriously beinfit me as I would learn more about the car.

It's a bit akward at the start as I was like "Where do I start?". But I just jumped in. Started to take the bonnet, front valances, bumper off. That was pretty much the front of the car off. Whent he bonnet was off I took the lights out (disconnecting them from the loom first). Also noticed a big lump of filler in the wing of the bonnet...lovely.

This is with the bonnet off. As you can see I took the dash out....see the electronics...scary! All the electronics were disconnected with the front of the car so I could take the body off. 4 people later...

the body is off!

Then only a few bolts later (and wet feet) the engine and radiator were out.

The Triumph 1500 with 1.5SU carbs. :)
