By way of introduction I am the mad (and with the amount of time spent in the garage - soon to be divorced) fool that bought Stuart's 350.

The wedge is currently on axle stands with its rear end in many pieces all over the garage floor.

Apparantly before its allowed out back on the road it needs something that makes it stop?!?! - a few bushes and uprated suspension front and rear - all done by yours truely who's only just figured out what a screwdriver does so this should be fun. Fortunatley the car does come with a 5 year warranty and an on call mechanic smile

Hoping to be on the road for July and looking forward to meeting as many of you as possible at the BBWF.

Welcome to 'Wedgedom'. thumbup

You'll find a friendly and helpful crowd here.

Don't miss BBWF ...it's a hoot.

- Decided to use mine as the daily driver today (to hell with petrol prices...the sun was out hehe).

Did 150 enjoyable miles, and she never missed a beat. - Felt like a naughty schoolboy playing truant, but all my calls were made, and what a conversation starter smile

Welcome to DIY.
We can call it a 'steep learning curve' from your description.
If you have time and perseverence it should not be a problem, but keep safety first as a top priority: working on the front springs need this, as lying under a car even as 'light' as a TVR but still a ton.

You have a wedge 'bible'? If not call it the tip of the day.
Do a search on Steve Heath (he is the author) and you can find further details.
