Hi,

I finally went ahead and bought my first TVR, a 2003 Tuscan 4.0.
The idea from the start was to get a later car relatively cheaply, and rebuild it entirely to my taste, giving me peace of mind that I know the condition of all the aspects of the car.

I'm not saying it necessarily needs it, or that a TVR would need it more than another car, it's just my (crazy?) philosophy when it comes my cars, that I either like to buy the best original example I can find/afford, or get a good car that makes the perfect project.

Initially, I wanted to convert it to LHD, but after discouragement on here, and because I can't seem to find someone who has actually done a conversion, I might leave it in it's RHD form after all.

I'm planning to send out the engine for a 4.3 rebuild at Powers.

The chassis is going to be blasted, protected and painted, but I'm looking for advice regarding any upgrades or fixes that I should consider.
I read something about bump stear issues, front wheel spacers,...

What upgrades would you make if you had a blank canvas to start from?

Many thanks,
A
