[Ernie321]

I've just dropped of my 400se for a new set of carpets at the trim technicians near Blackpool they where recommend by track v road should get the car back on Wednesday afternoon
So I'll let you know how it goes

[TVRIK]

Sounds like your not far from me mate, I'm in Preston
I was at track V road the other week, just to have a nosey.
Sound guys... I carpeted mine myself, from a roll, it won't look quite as finished, but I'm really happy with it.
Looking forward to seeing your pics.

Hi Rik
Yes not so far from you "ormskirk" do you ever go to the Tvr meet at the rigby arms it would be nice to meet up with another wedge ownerwhen the weather picks up. I felt a bit out of my depth the few times I've been to the meeting there but it might just be me being paranoid will post some pics when I get the car back

I don't actually, I've had the car since last spring, and trying to get it looking decent, but the bodywork has had to take a back burner, wanted it to look nice, but the interior is looking ok here's a before and after, done it all myself.
But yeah when the lighter evenings come I'd like to go along, one of the guys at Track V Road was talking to me about it, I know what ya mean... I'm into my cars but sometimes ya feel a bit intimidated when they live it!! Ha ha

Hi Paul. I'm in Preston too. I go to the TVR Blackpool region meets, usually meet nr Kirkham. Nice bunch, very welcoming and some ex-factory people as well with really good knowledge.

Would be good to meet up when the weather picks up. Never seen another wedge on the road outside of TVR events!!!

That looks nice. Was it hard and did it cost much?

Hi "JumboBeef". (Great name) cheers still needs some loose ends to do, started by getting the Alfa seats
And managed to get a full Hyde of leather with a perfect match luckily.
Bought the carpet on a roll and cut to match -and orderd taylored mats
And got a the door cards and gaters cut and stiched from the Hyde then again fitted myself.
I it wasn't easy but I'm enjoying doing it.

Hi Rik, yep 10 mins but I usually find a way to make the journey longer . Just finished changing all the brakes so waiting for a little bit of time/weather to get the car out of the garage.

Ernie - snap!! Red 400 here also

[Ernie321]

Just picked up the car from trim technician and they have done a great job (would recommend them)
I will post some pic's up when the weather gets better the car is in garage drying off
