If its having eather a new or upgraded chassis why is it still intact ? Removing the chassis at a later date could cause damage to the body .

Another update and response to some of the questions asked.. The paint shop owner has a Sag, a Cerb and an SC chim himself (in reverse order of desirability ) He has just painted the Cerb before body off and reassures that if lifted correctly there's no reason why the body/paint should be damaged. The chassis guys have been well briefed. Besides, the chassis guys have committed to cover for repaint in the unlikely event of damage. The paintwork is coming with 5yr warranty. Agree it's a bit odd to paint first but there's a lead time on the chassis and it was decided to use that time as efficiently as possible - nearly a year since the car was last driven. Cheers all, Chilli

Wondering what TVR Power and their bodyshop have to do with this, I don't believe they're doing any work on that car.

I think you will find that most of the TVR specialists have moved shop in to smaller premises ,OK TVR Power is an exception but most of them are feeling the pinch..

Don`t know why painting TVR`s is a big deal ..Can`t see there will be alot of filling ,no rust so once the doors and bonnet is off it`s EasyPiecy No chrome work or bumpers to remove so what`s the big deal.?
