Awesome project Mark, and great colour
Very jealous of the wheels too, I was gutted when I saw that phazed had sold them. Let me know if you ever fancy a swap

Anthrasite or the slightly lighter shade(is it something shadow?)
Rear diff currently being stripped down and refurbed.
She wasnt in good fettle and needed a major overall unfortunately,but on the other hand, imagine if i had just left her as she was, and put the whole car back together only to find the issues when i tried to drive her Just something to bear in mind if you start a strip down

Thanks for the above.
I understand that the trickiest part of the mod. is adapting the pinion to the TVR u/j, most other issues being fairly straightforward. Would you share any advice on that?
