Lower Front Panel
When I got the car it had the standard plastic front spoiler as fitted to all the TR7s from about 1978. This covered the lower front panel that runs across the car but which had got a bit scruffy under the pastic. With limited time originally it just got some rust treatment and that was all so it was overdue a tidy up and now was a good time and. The car was registered in 1977 so I liked the idea of keeping it to the earlier spec. Looking closely it was actually in very good condition so all that was needed was sanding with wet and dry and some primer before a coat of Pageant Blue from a spray can.

Rear Panel
The earlier cars also had the back panel between the rear lights painted Satin Black and as I needed to do some tidying up there as well I decided to paint it black. There were some scabby bits of paint where the number plate is screwed on and needed cleaning up. Again it was just a question of sanding with wet and dry before some primerand then a Satin Black spray can.
Fellow TR7 blogger Beans had also noticed that the number plate was fitted too high on the rear panel. I had done this deliberately to cover up an area of poor paintwork so I could now put that right as well.

| Guilty secret, I had covered this up with the number plate! |

| Finished version, but is that plate on straight? |
Seems I need to adjust the number plate now! Always something to do.

| That is better! |
