Tour of my 1981 TR7 PI

Postby HDRider » 19 Nov 2021 14:17

I just posted a new video of my 1981 TR7 PI. I give a quick tour of the car including the underside with the car on a lift, do a bit of maintenance and then go for a short drive.

Hope that you all enjoy it.

Hi, nice touch having the car lift in your back garden. Can’t imagine that working in our UK climate!

I’m jealous of the 2 post lift, but it was either dig down the garage floor by several feet or sacrifice the bedroom above it.

Nice video HDRider.
It is certainly nice to have a 2 poster, I too have one in my back yard and it gets regular here in the UK Rick :wink:

Hi Seven, respect! How do you fare with the electrics given our UK climate?

I haven't had any issues at all with the electrics, the motor is cover with a home made steel box and the waterproof switch is mounted on the fence. I am just a little devious about the extension lead sitting there when it rains and I am using the 2 poster. But it is a good excuse to unplug and go inside for a coffee :wink:
