Have there been any threads where folks have discussed what their projects are? Or even what their dream TVR project might comprise??

It would be interesting to know who's doing what, whats been successful and what hasnt, just to share the overall experience, whether it be a straight forward restoration, performance mod, or out-n-out racer build?

If you(as I am) are new on here or dont visit regularly it is easy to miss out on whats going on in everyones garages and also miss out on the wealth of experience that surfaces when threads go a bit off subject.

I also find i get a boost to get on with my projects when someone posts up the pics of their project reaching a certain stage, like catfishes rolling chassis for example.


Any thoughts on how this could be done, or is it already done and im missing something??
Regards
Phil.

Could we simply have a list for ongoing projects / hybrids on the "classics owned by" wiki thing? and put up specs / images on our profiles with link to our own blog page if we have one?
Just be nice to be able to find other projects for inspiration and motivation?

It would be nice to see a bit of a write up on project, not just photos. you know, a bit about about the intended build plan, degree of modification if any etc, target completion.

If enough of our projects were finished we would have a grid!! rotate
