Hi all,
I am quite a newbee to the forum. It took me a while but now i need to share my thoughts with you guys.
Being infected with the TVR bug years ago my next project is a nice M chassis with 1973 registration and a new S3000 body with almost all parts with it. It also includes two 2.8 injection cologne engines with 5 speed gearboxes and a lsd. The chassis is even having disks on the rear ! But thinking it over I do not want a convertible but a M. I can buy a M body and the S body incl. new door panels and bootlid and hood and frame can be bought now I guess.
Reading the topic of 3154tm it could make a great car if the project of 3154tm could be joined I guess ? Anyone interested ? Maybe someone has a better idea ?

Why drag a project across the ocean, when M bodies are to be found in breaker's yards, in the UK?

Sell the S body, and use an existing M body, the chassis of which has been destroyed. Better yet, sell your project, and buy a car.

Best,
B.

Do you now have that lot of parts or are you thinking of purchasing it.
That project has been doing the rounds for quite a while should not be that hard to find a body and doors or like the US project is this a sly advert to sell it on ;]

Ho ho ho, do not spoil some ones project.
It was sold in Holland and a dutchman bought it.
So no dragging around the world.

As stated many times on this perfect forum we can help each other, sometimes with simple thinks ( rattling gear lever) and sometimes not starting v6.

I think every boy needs a toy.smash

Good luck with the project 3000S (or 3000M) .

Hans,

3154 is in North America.

As for my other point, thank you for helping me make it. I could have phrased it as a question. Do you want a project or do you want a toy?

Best,
B.

Hi guys
I had no idea 3154tm is north america. !
Makes it rather stupid to drag it over the pond. I guess you're right. I should get me a body of an M.
And yes I need a project cause the other TVR is alright and I don't want to watch crap like the voice or x factor. I rather have me hands dirty.
So anyone want to convert to a convertable ? Let me know.

I would advice: Open a topic with the parts which you have for sale, including pictures and the price you have in mind.
