Cheers Adam, boot mod box already lined with glassfibre / foil heatmat, just need a bit more for under the bonnet.

Yep wheels are ex cerbera OZ Somethings I belive, hanging onto the split rims as I may get around to sorting them, maybe.

Still have few jobs, idle speed is too high, AFR is on the lean side so the fuel pressure needs to go up a bit, antifreeze to go in etc... Never finished...

Fronts now 800lb, rears 325lb which is a bit higher than the usual seems OK though have done 250 miles since I picked it up, massive improvement, it's like a different car!!

Well that's just under 500 miles done since the Mot, Millbrook alpine circuit 5 times plus 7 laps of the high speed bowl at 100mph, nothing fell off. Had an odd not charging problem after the speed runs which went away on its own and it looks like the new pinion seal is leaking a little. Overall the rebuild has turned something that felt like an old car that was generally soggy into a nice drive, ok it doesn't handle as well as a newer tiv but it's a hell of a lot better than it was - overall well chuffed.



Nice to talk to a couple of other wedge owners today too

P.s. Zig - video to follow mate

Should be OK it's a new alternator, whatever it is it only appears when you do 100MPH constantly for 2 Miles on a banked surface (not really a problem on the road then...) a quick blip of the throttle fixes it, I thought maybe the belt is a bit loose !

Correct, you would have to go for inboard mounted tie bars (similar to I converted to) as the trailing arm chassis won't have the outboard chassis mountings for the TVR style tie bars or the extra tubes from the rear outrigger back to the spine.
Anythings possible I suppose...
