Grade Received: A

Responsibilities:

• created and assembled railroad tracks based on North American standard dimensions

After being parked away from sight for close to 37 years, my dad and I are working together to restore this pearl white 1950's roadster. After performing light repairs and routine maintenance on a 1976 Triumph TR6, our next step was to embark on a journey of returning this classic to factory condition. This project is the first of its kind for either of us - we are learning every day from online resources such as YouTube and relevant car clubs.

Responsibilities:

• Analyzing bodywork and determining required repair, including the use of angle grinders and wire brushes

• Measuring existing reference parts and creating schematics for fabrication

• Fabricating parts from metal using hand tools to create required replacement pieces to be affixed to the body and chassis

• Welding fabricated parts together to recreate assemblies and replace body components

• Adherence to proper safety procedures while working with hand and power tools

To help combat boredom and maintain my health during the COVID-19 pandemic, I sought out a bicycle to get some exercise. With the bicycle supply chain stretched to its limits, pricing for new (or even used) bicycles skyrocketed, making a working bike unattainable within my budget. My grandfather, who used to work for Raleigh in the United Kingdom, kept this bike from when he and my mother moved to Canada in the late 1980s, and it had been sitting in storage for decades. Using my own research skills and online resources, I was able to learn how to restore it to working condition with no prior experience.

Responsibilities:

• Serviced brakes: de-rusted calipers, aligned brake pads, replaced both brake cables

• Serviced drivetrain: de-rusted chain and gears, adjusted derailleurs for proper alignment, replaced both shifter cables

• Serviced bearings: inspected and cleaned bottom bracket, headset bearings

• Replaced tires: turned to the global supply chain to procure tires and inner tubes

• Ensured conformance to MTO bicycle safety standards
