I will be taking the interior apart bit by bit and bagging fasteners and trying to note what needs to be replaced. Right now this is a journey of discovery

Restoring your TR Triumph is on my reading list at the moment (included in the sale) and I have been watching a serious of videos done 6 years ago by a guy from Toronto. (RUSTY BEAUTIES) Both are depressing as heck, but somewhat inspirational at the same time.
"Elin Yakov's Rusty Beauties" is a channel that I watch also. Another channel that I watch is called "TR Restorations". That guy has some useful information but he plays some music sometimes as he is working which I find a bit annoying.
If you are going to make a tutorial video about how to perform a specific task, don't play music in the background as it is very distracting, just explain the process and get on with it! Now if I am working on something, sometimes I like to have a radio playing to make things more enjoyable. Okay rant over.
