Windscreen Frame and Interior Preparation - Triumph TR7 Restoration Part 4

Another bit of work done on my 1976 Triumph TR7 Coupe restoration!
This video is all about the preparation work on the passenger cabin. Although I'd done a lot of work here previously, I still needed to do a lot of finishing up and preparation for primer. This meant a decent amount of tedious sanding, grinding and tidying!
At the same time, I did some work on the windscreen frame. This had been cut out and replaced a few years back after the original had rusted out. But I left it for a few years in just primer, so some surface rust had started to creep back in. Rather than risk this bubbling back through, I ground back all my old filler work and started afresh.
With that all done, it was time to get the primer on! As before, I used epoxy primer as this is more durable than regular etch primer and less likely to rust through before I had the chance to paint it.
