My very first repair to the TR7 was to fix a hole in the n/s windscreen panel and repair a knackered scuttle. I don't appear to have any close-ups of the pillar repair, but here is the new section of scuttle going in.

Windscreen pillar and scuttle
Ok, so here is the start of my restoration (although these pics were taken around ten years ago. I told you it has been a long haul.
My very first repair to the TR7 was to fix a hole in the n/s windscreen panel and repair a knackered scuttle. I don't appear to have any close-ups of the pillar repair, but here is the new section of scuttle going in.
I got a complete new (used) windscreen panel, cut out the biys I needed and welded them in. At this stage I have a Sealey Mightymig 130XP running on pub gas, so I guess I learned the hard way. Actually, to this day this repair is sound, which amazes me, as I had never welded anything before and frankly my welding got worse during this stage of the restoration.
