Respray

[Jimbolian]

Got a call from Adrian at TVR Central to say she was now in prep for paint so thought i'd go visit. He's also convinced me to do the carpets. Plus door cards, seat inserts, head-lining and sides of center console in quilted red leather to match the rest.... so won't drive her till Feb! Hope the ML55 keeps me amused in the meantime. Can't wait to see that invoice... ( insert mild panic ).

Phones not letting me upload photos, watch this space! Or the one below... I degrees.

[Jimbolian]

Thought I’d post some more pics, she's now been painted awaiting interior work and a few other bit's and bobs... hopefully back on the road soon. Having withdrawal systems!

Nice.. What colour is that?

[richtvr]

Nick sent you a pm

[Jimbolian]

It's Grigio Avlon, TVR color nicked from Lamborghini.

Looks great ! Mines in the oven at the min spoke to Adrian earlier and just had some great photos come through

Love that colour ! Keep the photos coming !

[Jimbolian]

Think I spotted yours being sprayed on Monday? No colour at that point chap was still masking. Best garage to visit, Aladin's cave of TVR bits!

Adrian's is the champagne speed six, red and black I think is the plan.

Lovely colour, goes well with the red interior as well (my fave combo)
Was that your orig colour?

[Jimbolian]

It was a plain silver, although very flat and had paint stripper poured all over it. Previous owner lived in London, still reckon it was an angry Ex. : )

[FarmyardPants]

Feck me that paint job looks good

Red interior too. You must've been paying attention in my cerb investment class

[Doogs]

Looking very nice Jimbolian, love the new colour, great choice.

And you're probably right about the angry ex, I'm sure I deserved it .. but the car certainly didn't!

Didn't know that grp was put in ovens as there a good chance of moisture in the GRP...

Haha, knew it. : )

Spiders, new lights, bits of trim, quilted leather door insets and headliner, windscreen, re-lacquard carbon, HID upgrade ( so I can see the Tree before hiting it ) and lord knows what else being done too... and a new pair of pants once I get the bill.
