My new purchase, a lovely Chimaera

[Speedracer329]

I have put a similar post in "Readers Cars", but thought I would put some pictures up here too.
Picked this up from a PH member who has done a lot of work recently to the car, & then got distracted by a beautiful Tuscan! Body off chassis restoration & re powder coated, new practically everything mechanical, engine, suspension, uprated brakes, wheels & tyres, new nut & bolt job. Needs a respray & an interior refresh to finish but will keep her like this until the spring at least, she looks fine with a polish!!









I think my smile has set on my face now!!

Looks superb. Same colour as mine, and same colour Jag (on your profile) as mine.
I used to live about half a mile from your photo, now about 10 miles.

Small world Rob! I used to live on Sandbanks but am in Parkstone now, & looking to move again.

Thanks for the pics Blue Thunder. I really like the alloys you had on it. Nothing wrong with the ones on it now but I have a thing for good 5 spokes, do you still have them?
I understand that you did the headlight conversion, do you know what sort of a job it is to return them to standard?

The wheels were on it when Rob had it. The conversion was done by the then called "Team Central" formally "Central TVR". I believe that when they done the conversion for me. A small part of the light housing was cut away in order to fit the Pods.

Nice indeed.

I would say enjoy, but it's difficult not to!

[penno]

I really like the headlight pods looks LW Cerb much better than the blended in type which I don't like. If you are considering changing back to original drop me a line i would buy them off you at the right price.

The splitter looks good,does it just bolt on.

[FreeLitres]

Nice wheels!

Team Dynamics?

I still have them but the fronts are buckled nothing wrong with the rears, they look good with a deeper dish on the rear.

This is a long shot but, i might be able to get you a brand new set of these alloys. I've a friend of mine that has a couple of sets kicking around.

Hey, that would be cool, can you put him in touch with me please?

Pink Floyd, not sure who did it but 2 of her previous owners are on here I will ask & let you know via pm.
I am actually thinking of replacing it with a standard boot lid if that is of interest?

Just realised that i never got back to you on this one. Ever so sorry about that - i had a crazy end quater to 2010.
I had a word with my mate again recently and he said that he still had a coulpe of sets still kicking around (brand new and in boxes) so if your interested then drop me a PM and i'll pass on your detials to him.

[roysum]

I suppose I should agree, they are nice wheels........
