Well she's been finished a while now, got her home from Willow at the end of November, practically brand new, in terms of running gear, all things cooling, engine, anyway runs amazing, you may have seen the thread I started about Nottingham road works, a day I fondly refer to as the final testing phase.
So she has the speed six big bore exhaust from ACT, which I took the car to JP Exhausts to get finally tweaked mid January, and she is done.
Working quite brilliantly, I have over the last few weeks been popping out in the dry and got an accumate connected to the battery and I have been building some real confidence in how the car is performing, she is quite reliable, as far as I can tell I have 2 outstanding issues, the ice detector and alarm siren which has a temporary fix on at the moment, those will get done as and when.
My interior is spot on, new stereo for xmas (still in box) still like my pops n bangs n burble, I actually have a nice burble
, would like to get front end resprayed, but might wait a while yet.
Anyway there is a load of pictures below please take a look, all work took 3 months, 8k, worth every penny to put me where I am now, bloody good reliable amazing car.
Whilst out for a burn last night near Sleaford, I stopped to help a Griff in distress, no electrics, so helped push him to safe location, his wife came out and jump leads provided, but he got to witness my burble 1st hand, he said," are you putting strange / special fuel in that", all I could reply was nooo, thats what Cerberas doo, with a huge smile on my face.
Anyway here's the piccys:
Thats it, hope you enjoyed them, I would like to mention, I did pop over on a weekly basis but have no idea on how difficult or easy individual jobs were, however, there is no substitute for, experience, skills, tools, tech tips n tricks, specialists were used when necassary and Pirtek did a clean sweep on all pipes and couplings.
We did have some issues, obviously, they were the two times I got involved, typical really, Exhaust and Ally Radiator, both from ACT, but Tim at ACT was great, as were the manufacturers of those parts, truth be known, the real culprit in why those items didn't fit was TVR, as my Cerbera is just a little bit different to everyone elses, something we can all say about our cars.
And if anyone wants to chat, seek advice, whatever, I am more than happy, where I can to help, best of luck to all the potential chassis resto's out there.

Looks very nice, they did a very good job there.
Thanks for reminding me I haven’t lost one of the bolts from the front upper ball joint, the anti roll bar drop links fit there. Perfect pic for me
Are you back on the road yet? I’m so close I keep thinking I’m there then find one more thing that needs doing…

Ah jhonno, please dont take this the wrong way, meant to be tongue in cheek but it sounds like you know your Cerbera rear lights, you must have an AJP, such knowledge can only be gained by chasing speed6's about the place..
The light is a light, was on the car when bought it, won't ever change it, waste of money, I take it it's not standard then, bit like my front ones, but have to say these I do like, would have probably done the conversion myself if a PO hadn't done it already. Each to his own

Nothing to do with them being non standard.. Mine aren't (I am not a fan of my own either, but the missus likes them..) I think the originals are best on a Cerb, quad or Fester style.. I like the front headlights. I am not even close to the OEM police.. Just some things are right as standard.
You are right though, I am a superior AJP owner, which of course makes me right and better than S6 owners.
I will make my main point again however, it is a lovely Cerb with chassis porn going on..
