Are the window frames anodised or painted black?

A few little things have been happening..the seats have been mounted and the scuttle fitted (black screws on order)




I’ve also had new front grilles made..as well as received my new gear knob..made by PHer PeteGriff..a big thank you to him..a pleasure to deal with and I’m extremely pleased with it!





The targa top and rear screen were delivered to Steve Edwards in Yorkshire yesterday..he’s going to refurbish it for me..new lining..new fixtures and fittings along with integrating a 3rd brake light and LEDs..another guy who has been so helpful and a pleasure to deal with.

I’ve also booked it in at Lloyds Developments on 13th May for their Engine management installation.

My aim is that everything is done and dusted by mid June..so it’ll be 9 months in total give or take a week or two..I’ve booked Sherborne Classic Show which will be my first ever car show..also entered the Shere Hill Climb later in the year..not sure if I’ll be accepted yet though.

There’s a few things that I’m working on so will post if/when they go ahead! thumbup

It'll be interesting when you come to insure it next time. "Please provide a list of modifications"...you'll need to write a book!

In fact, you'll have doubtless been through that already, assuming the car must be insured now. thumbup

Thank you! thumbup

Here’s one for you 2smokin - I’m going to get the size of the plate slightly reduced as it just catches in the top corners!

Mega!

But, also slightly weird, having been my plate since 1996!

The OP's car is fantastic - love it.

As an aside, what mirrors are fitted to the car above?

A quick update as not much as happened..got the hardtop back from Steve Edwards..what a great guy and a great job!

Dropped it off at TVR101 earlier along with lots of other little upgrades..including a bespoke made brake fluid reservoir cover.

Met Carl Baker who is doing an overhaul of the alarm plus new speaker wiring and speakers.

Lacking on photos but will update in a few weeks.

It goes to Lloyd’s on 13.05.24..target date of 08,06.24 to be finally on the road.
