Hello Everyone

Well been looking for a while so here she is our new TIV.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&am...


Let the fun begin

[phillpot]

Very nice I like !

Bought a Chim back around Christmas, good fun, but something inside keeps saying "go older" ........?


Was surprised how very few pre S/wedge TVR's there were at Chatsworth.

[clive f]

nice one Andy, that will keep you busy for a while.





and probably out of the pub too

[Gerald-TVR]

Looked at that and thought "Oh thats nice"

[mycroft]

think Mr Mathews is a bad influence on you although given your recent exploits down south you probably need something to keep u out of trouble .
Best of luck with it .
Dale

ps Have you seen the movie Kick Ass

[aero340]

Good project, what are your plans restore it as standard or have you some tweeks planned ???

[MnS]

Looks good for the price if complete, a steep learning curve ahead and a lot of work to do but will be rewarding in the end. Best of luck.
Ian

[Stew Mc]

Nice one Andy.
Me thinks you need a bigger garage!

Me! Cheek

Well, we were in the pub yesterday but I don't think that was the cause...

I suspect Andy is very excited today

[DeadSpider]

Thanks lads really looking forward to getting my teeth into this.

Have arranged to bring her home next week.

Think I'm going to rebuild as standard but you never know.
Have actually bought the Taimar for the wife.

[Dave_M]

When are you bringing her back Andy?

I'm back late Monday I think but could help any other night or perhaps take a day off if it's day time.

[Barkychoc]

Buying a car and taking it to bits - you must be bloody mad!

Hang on a minute.....

Looks a good project, if you need someone to come and poke their nose in and be irritating now and again give me a shout!

My advice would be to do the work required to get it on the road - anything that can be done later relatively easily then leave it till its running.
I didn't do this with the V8S and there have been many times when I have lost enthusiasm because its just taking too long.

Another consideration - aircon. Black car, greenhouse rear window and side windows the size of a letterbox. As for TVR heater blowers....

I don't know if it can be done or not but might be worth considering while its all apart.

Chris your more than welcome to poke your nose in ,lucky to have someone with your knowledge nearby.
And spot on with the car my aim initially is to put every thing back together see what we have got and take it from their.
Air con eh may well look into that

Excellent, I can do most of the 15th, most likely all of it (lad doing motorbike mod 1 test 1 ish).

So, if you want another helper to load / unload / move that would be fine. Just don't truct me with any tools...

[Adam S3]

Well done Andy that looks fantastic can't wait to see it in the flesh, if I can be of any help just let me know (I'm not very bright but I can lift heavy things)

Nice one Adam
Oh yes sir I think I will definately need a bit of help with this one.

[Dave_M]

Adam fibs, he is bright and can lift things.

I can lift things.

I'm really excited, and Chris may just about to be on the road then too (also schimg may have rebuilt his cerb then, had a good chat tonight).

Wish I was remotely capable!
