[tunepipe911]

no problem on the hijack,gives me ideas for my 2014 project
meanwhile update on the frontbrakes,Frank,could need those 2 bushings sooner as I getting without parts,soon without work
(on the TVR,that is)

[tunepipe911]

how many 3000 S cars are still alive or running from the 258 ever build??
Belgium(11 registered,correct me Frank if I am wrong)
other countries??
I know off one to New Zealand(I wanted to buy it,but it was sold before I saw it and shipped)

update on body work,not ready so far

[tunepipe911]

body is to be ready in a week,so far nothing much has been done,
rolling chassis is as good as done,when body arrives,an update will follow,
then back to work full trottle!!

[tunepipe911]

yes,I know,it has been a while,

paintjob is taking now 9 months(I will have a small 3000 s with the body when it returns,no??)
in the lost time ,managed to get the Wedge decent again,waiting for the paperwork to get it to the MOT,
when the body returns,the weekends will be verry long!!
maybe I will have a thirth TVR by the time the 3000s returns

[tunepipe911]

I am afraid it is becoming an addiction

[tunepipe911]

we can start the rebuild at last

[tunepipe911]

it has been some time,after buying a Wedge ,starting again on the 3000s
still lots to do,but progress is there,

All very neat with extra finishing parts etc is a real credit to you. But I know tvr built cars with the wiring Loom just clipped up with cable ties but un protected wires clipped up to brake lines and fuel lines is for me not good , would look a lot neater in the engine bay with some form of wiring loom covering for both looks but also protection!!! But as I said Its a real credit to you. Richard.

Thanks for the good comment,
My intention is to check if all works fine and then place a new wiringlooom,
as it does not look that bad to change it after restoring,

that is when I bought the car,I will leave accerelation for the 350i wedge I own

[tunepipe911]

hey again,
After a long time,the good news is the engine runs again!!
Did the rebuild myself(first attempt to rebuild)was a bit scared to turn the key over and quess what,it would not start?
After checking all wiring,one wire on the coil as cracked and ignition 180 degrees wrong!my mistake
Second time trying to start,after a few attempts(fuel needed to get into the carb(also rebuild)it came to life after 3 years,
Thanks to all that helped to where it was needed(parts,wiring,technical information,copys and emails,,,,)


Cheers

Hi Rudy,

I do not know where you come from ( the start of the car I mean) but the end result is perfect.

Something to dream of for me.
