Triumph TR3-Fixing the Garage Door

As one can determine by my lack of BLOG entries lately I have not been out in the garage working on the TR for a number of days. Christmas and other distractions have taken me away from my car hobby and try as I may to make it a priority I have not overcome my inertia and actually made it out to the garage to continue on my quest to a completed car. Also I recently signed up for NETFLIX (my family doesn't have cable TV etc) which is providing a whole bunch of wonderful movies and documentaries for me to watch which also has contributed to my lack of garage time.... a woeful distraction that needs to be managed if I am going to be driving a TR3 this summer......

I did however get out into the garage yesterday to repair the rear entrance door to the garage. It was one of those "must do" jobs that didn't get done in the fall when the weather was good. The door has been "sticking" for about 6 months or so and every time it is opened or closed it makes a high pitch squeaking noise that is very irritating. Not a big issue if the garage is only being accessed a couple of times a month but given my frequency in November it really needed to be done. It took about 25 minutes total to get the door to fit properly and operate smoothly. A welcomed improvement.
