OK well I am just about ready for MOT, got loads done over the weekend.

Bonnet fitted, a few electrical niggles now sorted with lights & Indicators.

Wheel arch liners fitted.

Ventilation pipes attached to bonnet, various other small jobs sorted.

I just have to get a couple of P clips to support the handbrake cable on the trailing arms, then we are there!

I thought this day would never come!

Stunning work!


Won't you loose power with that big long intake with a kink in it, plus it runs over the hot exhaust manifold?

I guess theres not really many ways you could do it though. Cracking job anyway!

Thanks for your comments much appreciated.

I forgot to say the MOT tester was an absolute top bloke - the only problem was the drivers side headlamp was too low - so he just said how do we adjust it?
We got the screwdrivers out, took the chrome ring off and he adjusted it with the headlight alignment kit in front of it so it was perfectly aligned.

No charge smile

Thats TVR's for you! He loved it.
