Hi All,

Car in tomorrow with surface and design for the flip bonnet mod tomorrow. Looking forward to being able to get under and clean without major surgery and quite a few expletives !! First in a long road of restorations. Fingers crossed and it will be the interior next !!

Hi Chris,

I will let you know the exact damage once I get her back, I'm having a few more bits done aswell.
Doesn't help having D&C trim in the same place, all that lovely NEW SHINY leather and carpet and with her interior looking soooooo shabby frown What do I do confused

Hi Glowworm,
I went for the whole lot, paint the underide of the bonnet and also the heater box cover. As for the leather the choice of what the boys there can do is mind boggling. If anyone has any recomendations on colour schemes I would appreciate them. She is a Mk1 in Cristal Topaz, wheels done in medium anthrasite and to break up the exterior I had the grille done the same as wheels. I think for the interior I may go with anthrasite carpeting piped in portland grey, with a mixture of portland grey and antrasite leather, with contrasting stitching. The guys aslo mentioned roof lining and door cards, TVR logo in the seat head rests or seat backs, superior fitting seat backs........ahhhhhh overload..confused

Do I get the service done first ? Last one 12k at STR8SIX revealed wear and possible rebuild in the
future.. Do I just get the interior done have the service and see what happens....

My Head Hurts....
