Cerebra Rebuild

[roseytvr]

Right, Ive had this 12 months and its looked like this


Haven't had anytime to make a start but today I pulled off the covers


Quality paint job



Nice trim, the steering well has a certain patina

Struggling with resizing some of the other pictures of cobwebs, mould and rotten carpets but I guess you get the idea. Feels like crank float in the bottom end - was thinking LS7 but may go 4.7 AJP to be different!!

I still haven't got much time on my hands but think I will start stripping it back ready for a body lift and full nut and bolt reconstruction. I will set up a blog once I have time and will report in any progress. Garden room fund here I come!!

I'd trade you for that paint job any day!







Good luck with your project, but don't forget: you can't see what it looks like when you're driving it

That's funny you've posted this up as I was only thinking about this car yesterday. I think there are some short videos of this car on YouTube, I'm guessing one of the previous owners? Hope it goes well, if I had the cash it would have to be 4.7 AJP every time.

4.7 all the way.

It keeps the character of the Cerbera with an added dose of mental.

I'm not sure I would describe the leap from 352bhp (4.2) to 376bhp (4.7) as "mental". The price of £591/bhp however is mental.

Moral - go into a 4.7 rebuild with your eyes open regardless of the builder you choose.

Ls Ian all the way.

Just out of interest, what explanation did they give for such a modest increase in this instance?

Mine is some what more than that, as a 4.5 it was kicking out 402 and noticeably faster now.

Keep the AJP!!! Proper 4.7 build is the way forward!
