Looking good ,
Approx one weeks work left,to finish what has been nearly nine months of waiting. and then a call
from TVR , to inform me that my Tappets cannot be set due to the fact my cams are stuffed! Arghhhhhhh!!!!
result me agreeing to an Engine rebuild , OH by the
way, put in a new clutch while we're there. @4.5k.
If the last guesstimate is anything to go by,
I'll be lucky to get my car by next spring.

Some Factory Guide times) One Week = One Month.

39k is showing on the clock, last major service
was carried out at 33k .I dealing with Paul Forest,
seems honest enough, His view was get it out stripped
to make sure everything is Ok. I guess I took the
in for a penny in for a pound attitude, I've come this far might as well go the whole hog.
Still the weather is nice!
