Looks better with the visor DOWN!

haha thanks! working on the rear frame today eek wish me luck!

Just picked up some new cam covers, plug cover and timing cover. This moves the oil breather to the back and will allow me to have a lower bulge in the bonnet. Will probably remove the stock breathers of this one and move it to the very back. Also need to machine a hole for the vvt on the front of the inlet cam on the pully cover then fab up a little dome for it.

Looks smart,

I have only just noticed the cam belt, I have seen narrower super charger belts!!! I bet the service interval is measured in laps of the planet rather than Miles..

TT

Got my VIN number today lol its kinda pants but hay =P at least it has TVR in it hahah was sent a hole load of info and stuff to register the car.

Right well after being distraced by the radio host and winning tickets to watch Ricky Gervais live i decided to call it a day and eat some food at last!
Made a LOAD of mess today stripped all but 1 cam cover they had.. black primer, white primer, calsonic blue, black primer then hammerite blue :mad: took sooooooooo long and so much mess to strip then down. gah

Anyhow! made some good progress with the rear of the chassis.

Been going nice and steady and have the back pretty much all welded now. Real happy that the chassis is pretty much sorted. I will be adding a 2nd set of 20mm diagonals on the side of the chassis from front to back. Dont know if it will help much but with the power and weight of the engine ect i think it would be a wise idea. After the rear is welded up i will flip the chassis and work on the under side. Im also going to be installing guessets the the under side box sections thare are not braced by a D eg where the floor is. :D Will also be removing the part above the front bellhousing and raising it 1inch to allow a big more space.

looking nice :cool:

The GRP tub frame looks good too :)

won,t be long before its on wheels at this rate you are working at :eek: :D

cheers

Well..... after a afternoon of 40amp plasma cutting and 2 cutting discs i now have a sump i can use. Well allmost! might need to shorten it and also need to weld in the ally plugs but apart from that its great! Took so much effort to remove all the stuff from it let alone cutting the thing up. some of that ally is upto a inch thick.

Before gtr sump.


After.

Little update.
Chassis is now upside down and being welded on the underside. Quite a few welds missed so going over the holes chassis just to make sure its all done. Anyone know when you cut out the bottom box section to make room for the gearbox? thinking while its upside down it would be a good idea to do it now. Or should i finish the steering support first?

Picked up a granada steering column, v5, vin plates, paint plate, dif, number plates and a load of photos yesterday, so thats going to help in regards to age related plate ect.
Anyhow hope you guys are all having a productive weekend on your roadsters!
