Great to see another one being restored so well, how are you liking the LS1 is it very different to the LS3 apart from 5.7 as opposed to 6.3Ltr?
The car looks great , hope to see it at the Growl or chatsworth, would be great to see the install. :]
Any more pictures? engine bay etc

Thanks for posting more pics the car looks really great, would love to sit down and compare notes[ translates to cry over cheque books] The six speed box sounds interesting what make did you go for? Diff? Drive shafts etc. Did not realize you had engine problems but i only ever hear good things about Graig & Dyno Torque so the engine must be really well sorted now, i bet it sounds great!
I'm collecting mine this week and taking it back to its birth place for a re-trim and to fix some clearance problems on the front arches, like you just want to get the first 1000 miles on the clock and stretch it's legs. I'm having some engine covers made in the US with TVR embossed on them i'll send you some pics if your interested? [They can colour code to your car]

Thanks to everyone for your comments
The cage is mounted directly to the chassis as it is one of the older designs more function and not looks.
The engine covers was something I had considered doing at some time in the future but I have other things that need money spent on! As I cry uncontrollably into my coffee at the cost of building this car!
Sadly Craig & Dyno Torque didn’t build my first engine and I can’t speak the name of the tts who first built my engines as I wish to forget the whole sorry business. But Craig is a legend and a am delighted to say I have a Dyon Torque Engine under the bonnet. Which as been completely rebuilt and is running a 382 stroker kit with forged piston and crank and a new LS3 Cam.
