OYD 50V (Part 5)

I have not added anything to my blog for a while now as I have not worked on the TR since last Winter. Now the car is off the road for this Winter, work will recommence.

I have polished the new paintwork and added original decals. I bought some new old stock decals from E-Bay and used these. The main problem is that I assumed they were all black, but the "triumph" on the boot lid is silver, which I never noticed until I removed the protective paper. I quite like it in silver, so I will see if I can get a matching one for the TR7 logo.

I am also replacing faulty gauges and bulbs in the instrument pod.

The wheel arches are also being sprayed with underbody schulz(sp?)and the rest of the underbody will also be done.

When these jobs are finished, I will be replacing the carpet as this is very faded in places. I was going to retrim the seats in some sort of vinyl, but I have changed my mind, and will keep it original (for now!)

If your carpets in good shape you might try dying it. My Spider's grey carpet was faded in a few spots so I got some liquid carpet dye that you mix with water and squirt on with spray bottle. $30 Cdn including shipping. Haven't done it yet so can't give results but if it works cheaper than replacement. Good call on seats as vinyl gets hot and will split sooner.
