malcolm Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 Check the acknowledgements section of the buyers' guide to see who did all the work! And the FAQ is here: http://www.tr-register.co.uk/tr7_8.htm#faq It is accessible from the main website, but it does look like the link from this forum is broken Malcolm.

topbloke Posted February 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 many thanks i was looking for places that the dredded tin worm likes or is it all over !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tr7v8 Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 front turrets, bit of an obvious one, less obvious one i found (and many others) behind the seats, trim panels either side of the car, if u pull these back off the clips, there are big holes behind u can reach down from these into the sill, well u shouldn't be able to... there should be two small 2x1 inch square drainage holes, i find how rotten this is more a less defines the rest of the car. the other place is the rear axle mounts, look both from under the car and from under the carpet behind the seats lastly a good one is under the front of your feet, esp on the passenger side, lift carpet to check.

topbloke Posted February 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 thanks i know the sill needs replacing and a new one is with the vehicle, are they a straight forward cut out and weld back into place or do you have to reinforce/strenghthen anywhere before cutting it out Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beans Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Also check where the inner wing joins the bulkhead (both sides !!!); Joints from the rear deck to the rear wings, check from the boot for bodged repairs; Front panel, also check for repairs from underneath the car; Boot (rather obvious probably ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
