Very clean! as it ever been on the road

[minkybob]

Not been on the road much since the winter work which did a little more involved than I intended. Also did all the engine gaskets and hoses (hence no leaks) rad recore, new clutch, petrol lines, short shift kit, brake lines, new thermostat housings, GAZ shocks all round and new custom spring on rear, poly bushes all round, exhaust mounts, all wishbones and swinging arms stripped and powder coated, gearbox refurb ect ect.
Lots of hours and cash.

On the plus side the chassis was always excellent and only needed the chips touched in.

Good job mate...What year is your 280i...The early 280i chassis was one of the best that TVR possibly produced...Its seems to be the only ones that have lasted the longest...Even longer than much later cars...I know it looks nice like that but what it really needs is a good coating of oil.....Splurge!

I plan on spending most of a day in spring cleaning off all the oil and crud from Poppy's chassis, Cleaning up any rusty coated tubes...De-rusting & Painting them...But will spray it with motor oil and yak poo afterwards....There is a method to this madness.

Hi
Well its a 1983 FHC 280i with 70,000 on the clock, engine still sweet as a nut.
Had the old girl for 15 years, first TVR I ever bought.
Since them had a 350i, 450 Chim, 4ltr Tuscan and a Tamora.
Going to use this old girl in dry weather only so not going to splurge the chassis in oil as I intend to keep her dry. Grey stove enamel lasted this long so figure it will last a good few years more.

Lovely...When the sunny warm weather finally graces us with its presence then you must get some pics for next years Wedge calendar....

Nice pictures. Using the car in dry weather will keep the undeneath clean and rust free. Good work. Well done.

Just out of curiosity, which method did you use to reduced size of pictures to load up?
