Chimeara rebuild + respray update

[pena]

Just to update those who are following the progress of my Chim.
The Engine's (TVR-POWER 4.0 LITRE UPGRADE STAGE 3) is now ready to go back in the car.

Car headlight convertion is almost finished and then its a full respray. (LunDesign)

As for the incident with the pot-hot, still waiting for the counsil to get back to me on that one!

Here's some pics of the car.

Car looks sweet. Pot hole claim may take a lot longer than car.

The guys @ Power reakon it should be good for 275+, but the real benefits will be in torque and drivebility.

Quite a few things are being done such as:

New Clutch
GearBox
No Cats
Suspension and Wheels.
New Rear lights
Fog Lights

Blah, Blah

I have also changed the interior car carpets from biscuit to black (Still looking for interior bits especially 2 x Seats and tunnel cover. Seats from a cerb/tuscan or Early Chim would be nice.

good for 275+ - bloody hell thats quick

[pena]

Thats real Bhp not the usual over inflated Bhp figures that come as standard.

Most 5 litres are running well low on their quoted figures. Like mabye 260 Bhp instead of 320Bhp

Souds good!

Can you give us a cost breakdown?

Just some pics on the car's progress....

Have a word with V8smith he might have something as he has been changing seats quite a bit lately

Could be talking bollix though
