Cossy sold and Jag bought - the hard work begins next week
Discussion
Put engine and box on the bay on Friday
Box sold and the chap will take the engine if not sold.
BUT he wants them next Saturday
Then it will be off with the body and any chassis mods carried out.
The Jag (manual gearbox) with only 85k miles (owner had it 9 years) was purchased in Glasgow last week and driven 175 miles home
Hope to have it on the road before next summer

It brought out the best pedantiatric ones anyway
All the best with that Mick, you are going to be busy but you like a challenge. As I said before, keep it looking as standard as you can, more fun when you can surprise people!! Hope it can be made to sound as good as the Cossie did. It sounded really good from behind, couldn't always see it for the smoke but I knew where it was!!!

I don't intend changing the bodywork - it does not look 'standard' as is.
Engine and box to be removed on Saturday then body off and do some chassis strengthening

So its a Jag alloy V6 into an TVR S ?
Just that i saw Jag V6 in Mazda 5 yesterday at Tatton Park show, had a good chat with the owner, builder was "rocketeer" who made a bespoke carbon fibe 6 branch inlet manifold, lovely bit of engineering.
Yep Rocketeer make a number of parts to fit the AJ30 into the MX5 including a bespoke ECU. I have emailed them but no answer yet (suppose I better ring themJust that i saw Jag V6 in Mazda 5 yesterday at Tatton Park show, had a good chat with the owner, builder was "rocketeer" who made a bespoke carbon fibe 6 branch inlet manifold, lovely bit of engineering.

the Denso tape adhered yo the paint and pulled it or yes could have been the paint not bonding to the base white coating. At least it is not down to the metal. I will be scraping at all suspect areas and re-coating the whole chassis again.Edited by magpies on Sunday 27th January 16:45

Sorry to bomb your thread, but seeing your wheels reminded:
I have a set of those wheels in 17 inch, 7J, that I bought for my Chimaera 6 years ago.
ET18 as far as i remember, so slightly wider than normal track for a Chimaera and might not fit an S.
They are probably in need of a bit of a tidy up, but I do have the hub caps for them too.
I am happy to give them to anyone who likes them and wants them for their S.
If anyone is interested, email me through my profile please. Here's what they looked like on my Chimaera:
They aren't as unmarked any more. They look wrong in the wheel arch in that picture because they had stupidly low profile tyres on them.
I bought some SP12s a few months later and have never used these wheels since. Time for a new home
