Just bought chassis

[Urban67]

Just bought that chassis off eBay.
Got it for £250, I figured that by the time I repaired, blasted and painted mine it would cost me more than that

So I'm hoping I got a bargain,

£250 sounds like a bargain to me.

Good luck swapping it over.

Nice one.

What condition is it in?

Are the sill plates and outriggers good?

Yes, apparently it's all been repaired, blasted and powder coated and it looks good
Mine is pretty bad and I was going to do a body off anyway

Is it near Exeter? If so think he has some running gear as well.

Yeah, that's the one
Maybe I can get more stuff off him at some bargain prices

Once your old one is out the way could look at refurbing that and selling it on.

That's exactly what I was thinking

Can't believe it, just done a deal on all the running gear which is either brand new or re furbed
I'm not going to say how much I got it for but the word bargain doesn't come close.
I,ve basically got a rolling chassis minus the wheels but including the diff and drive shaft, new discs, springs and adjustable shocks.

Also just received my new carpet set from DandC trim which looks great so there is no excuse now to get on with the rebuild.

I will post up some photos when I pick up the chassis

Hopefully it was the price given to me when I saw it, if I could have found a 350 with a rusty chassis I would have had it, good luck with it.

It's going to make my rebuild so much easier, can't wait to get started

Nice one Chris.
What's the carpet like that you got, is it the whole car set or do you still need to do your own set for the boot?
Am seriously considering getting a new set for mine, but want to be 100% sure about quality, etc. before I splash my cash!
Especially as I don't have that much of it to splash around
OK, maybe I'm not exactly on my uppers, but can't afford to throw it away.
I'm considering investing in a second hand, off fleabay, sewing machine to do the edging on some carpets and have a go at doing my own to suit the boot lining, if that works then I'll have a go at the main car
Was about to tempt fate and use that classic line: how hard can it be

Hi Mark
It is the whole set for the interior but not the boot. It's all cut to size and trimmed and looks excellent. Dave at D&C was really helpful, they even sent me the underlay(not sure if that's what it's called) so when I glue the new carpet in I can replace that as mine is pretty rotten from all the water ingress.
They also re-trimmed my roof section and did a lovely job.
They certainly have a lot of experience with TVR's and are very knowledgable

Marvellous Chris,
Thanks for the info. It all sounds pretty good.
Will definitely check them out, please keep us in the loop with progress, etc. with lots of pictures too.
When you get a minute if you could PM me a link to their website it'd be appreciated.
I've always struggled to find someone who'll do the boot carpet, guess it'll be me and my trusty sewing machine after all
