Charlie D Posted March 21, 2022 Report Share Posted March 21, 2022 Happy Birthday to U ( R ) What strange garages. Maybe not yours, but they must be a really nice width inside. I guess the houses were built in the days when the builder did not cram so many houses per acre onto the land. The one on the right looks even wider --- very odd. Charlie.

RogerH Posted March 21, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2022 Hi Charlie, the garages are pretty standard. The doors are apprx 7ft wide Sadly I have so much stuff in mine that the car only just fits. Roger Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RogerH Posted March 24, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2022 Hi Folks, The TR4 has had/having a great 60th Anni week. It has new heater and valve cables - all working. It will have a a lovely radio (but probably not working) In the next week or so it will have wheel arch liners fitted (big job) And then all the little areas of polish stuck in joints etc cleaned away And then a final polish That is it.

RogerH Posted March 24, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2022 (edited) Hi Stuart, quite simply this is a three month restoration. It started in February 2010 and we are now getting close to the end of three months. The three months have been generously spread out over the intervening 12 years. Little bit here and a little bit there. Roger PS - I have learnt a great deal in those three months Edited March 24, 2022 by RogerH Quote Link to post Share on other sites
