That's looking great!
Sorry if I missed previous threads - but have you completed a full interior refurb and external respray?

I like the two-tone interior and quilted effects - should look stunning when all put back together!!

It's going to look great when it's complete, it's good to see any TVR given a new lease of life. Well done.

When you get a colour change is the old colour sanded off first, or is it over-painted?

Reason I ask is because my car suffered some absurd paint job in the past, whereby the front has been painted a pink colour over the original red. Now road rash means my car has measles.

Slight thread hijack, but this is where the previous Sage green Cerbera seats have ended up.

The new paint and trim on the Cerb looks awesome!!

Boatbuoy as I said above the seat squabs are loose so that is just rested against the seat back for the pic....Black and Green they look great have you decided to colour them or not? If you do personally i would make them the same as the darker green on the transmission tunnel any darker colour will paint on better than a lighter one plus I think that would be a lovely combination!

I'm not sure whether to re-colour them yet, the three colours tone together quite well. I'll decide when winter comes and I get some time off!
