I would ring Adrian@ Adrian Venn Excatly TVR Coventry first class guy and reasonably reasonable

All I'll say is that a cheap repair to just the outriggers may not be cost effective in the long run if you intend to keep the car. Those that have done the the work themselves do tend to find more than just the outriggers that need doing and by doing a full body lift you can see the state of the whole chassis.

Totally agree with the above. I'm 3/4 way through outrigger repairs which only looked a small job from underneath. Now found some corrosion at the back after giving the chassis a severe seeing to with a wire brush. Even if you can't weld yourself I would recommend taking the body off and doing the cleaning up yourself so you no the full extent of the problems. See my thread "Another body off" I started at Christmas. Good Luck. Andy wink

[mannik]

any idea what it would cost for a garage to do a full chassis repair (body off)?

obviously depends on chassis condition..but as a ball park?

And is there anyone who could recommend who to do this?

cheers

I'm having mine done at the moment S3 both outriggers and rear mounts, body off £3K labour.. should be mint when finished though and I did get the car very cheep.

[ChrisGadd]

R. T. Racing do a full body off Chassis refurbishment, they also offer a partial lift option which is slightly cheaper.

I have personally been very impressed with their work and they understand TVR's.

I'd give Richard a call on 0114 281 7507

David Gerald TVR might be worth a go.

Just had my chassis sorted. Total body off, I would advise that you go down this route once the body was off more corrosion was found. The cost was 3500 pounds inc VAT. This included the engine being cleaned up and all bolts etc replaced. Shop around the current economic climate would suggest that people want the work so that puts you in a better bargaining position. I also had the engine sorted with a new clutch and engine mounts.

[AquaRegia]

New engine mounts fitted!!! they were not cleaned up. The work was carried out by SSCC TVR near Boroughbridge North Yorks. Steve Darvill did the work. He knows his stuff. Have photos of the work if your interested.
