If not, it may be a good source of parts.

The wheels look good. I suspect there may be a flat spot on the tyres though

That poor little red number has a new owner and it won't be used as parts as I plan to totally rebuild, including prefabricating a new chassis.
I was going to do a kit but I've loved the TVR S for years.
I could do with some help sourcing parts though. Nylon bushes and bits

Good luck with the rebuild. Many hours of fun in the garage this winter by the looks of it.
I think David Gerald TVR can supply a new chassis if you need one. I got a quote a couple of years ago when I rebuilt mine and they were able to get them then. He also supplied all the bushes and most of the other bits I needed, mostly by return of post.
Certainly knows his TIV's

All the best Mick.

Hi all, just to let you all know I've had a good look at her today and its not all bad. It looks like this went under something as most of the damage is at the top, chassis is ok but the O/S upper wish is bent. Lower part looks ok but it's not had a very nice owner so hasn't been looked after. Lots of rust but she starts. Engine hasn't gone back as the mounts are still ok
One thing I need to know is how the bonnet connect can anyone send me a pic.
Thanks for the pdf link.

Thanks for the pics. have you got a pic of the bonnet when it is connected to the chassis. also the rad housing looks different to mine as the top part of mine is made of fibre, yours look like metal. am I missing something or is this one of them design changes that TVR do.
