Saw your car today when I dropped in and it looks rather tasty, I think Adrian was actually taking tho see pictures at the time.
Excellent 
I emailed Adrian to ask if it will be ready for the end of next week - got no reply yet.....
ETA - got a reply - all on schedule for the end of next week!
Bet it'll be raining....

Good to see your mods Chris, as a fellow long-termer sticking with a T-car. Nothing replaces them. 
Cheers - you're quite right, for the money (even if you end up spending more that the purchase of the car to get it how you want), not a lot comes close, even after 10 years!Really enjoying this thread, Its great to see ex TVR owners coming back to the fold as we all know that nothing else compares, Tamora's generally seem to be keepers even more than other Tiv's judging by the number of long standing owners on here, good luck with the car, PS You will love the Trek R its a great wheel, I love mine.

Cheers Ian I never wanted to sell my first Tam, TBH. However, this time, we seem to be a little better off, financially, so this time around, I'm going to give the car the attention they deserve. (even though I seem to have put off our house renovation to fund it....)
Just had a couple more pics of the seats sent via email:

Coming along nicely Chris. Look forward to meeting up one day and making sure you have no bald patches on the rear tyres. 
Thanks, Steve - the only bald patches are on the top of my head! yes, it will be good to meet up one day Am looking forward to seeing how the Nitrons feel...
ETA - I have a 3.73 Hydratrack diff in our hallway - so that will be installed next (maybe with a Quaife LSD), along with CR gears! Onwards and upwards! lol

Great colour combo Chris it's coming along nicely. The seat look great. I've no idea what want in mine yet my colour choice seems to change by the hour! As long as I've made my mind up by October

Thanks Buzz Buzz
I didn't really make my mind up until I actually got there and spoke to Adrian at Central - the only thing I was 100% sure of was that I wanted desperately to break up that all blue interior - didn't want anything OTT, just something in keeping with the rest of the car, that didn't involve blue so much...

In life there will be the tinkerers and those that get tinkered
I did change my lights to LED's, and I did try and fix my passenger door switch problem. I changed my reverse switch and glass-fibred an alloy handbrake base in place - Are you suggesting I should have re-trimmed the interior myself, lest I get ripped off? I know my limitations...

knowing Steve who will take anything apart I understood his humour!
I recently had a complete hood and carpet set for my chim from Central that I fitted myself that was good quality, ......just saying

Steve's Tam is a gem, and I wish I had a fraction of his mechanical wherewithal
I admit that I was certainly, or at the very least felt as though I was 'ripped off' by the people who fitted my head unit and sat nav (Not a good feeling at all..), and wish I had tried that myself. After that experience, I vowed to use companies/people who make their living and reputation working on TVR's - so I can at least minimise the chance of being 'ripped off'
Central have been great, I have to say. Adrian sends me plenty of updates, and if they aren't sure of something, they ring up and ask where I want certain things. I think that companies who don't ask for a single Penny until after the job is finished and the customer is happy with the results are a pretty safe bet.

Chris..I was shown around your finished car this morning, it looks fantastic! I'm having my tuscan re-trimmed in purple and portland..can't wait!
Cheers You must be the guy Adrian told me about on the phone earlier!My Tam was very tired looking before having this done, am so excited about picking it up!
Oh yes, Adrian told me that, with that powered sub woofer I bought, the sound is now better than Adrian's own car!
