Very nice thumbup I like !

Bought a Chim back around Christmas, good fun, but something inside keeps saying "go older" ........?


Was surprised how very few pre S/wedge TVR's there were at Chatsworth.

Best of luck with it .

Looks good for the price if complete, a steep learning curve ahead and a lot of work to do but will be rewarding in the end. Best of luck.

When are you bringing her back Andy?

I'm back late Monday I think but could help any other night or perhaps take a day off if it's day time.

Buying a car and taking it to bits - you must be bloody mad!

Hang on a minute..... scratchchin

Looks a good project, if you need someone to come and poke their nose in and be irritating now and again give me a shout!

My advice would be to do the work required to get it on the road - anything that can be done later relatively easily then leave it till its running.
I didn't do this with the V8S and there have been many times when I have lost enthusiasm because its just taking too long.

Another consideration - aircon. Black car, greenhouse rear window and side windows the size of a letterbox. As for TVR heater blowers....

I don't know if it can be done or not but might be worth considering while its all apart.

Excellent, I can do most of the 15th, most likely all of it (lad doing motorbike mod 1 test 1 ish).

So, if you want another helper to load / unload / move that would be fine. Just don't truct me with any tools... hehe
