Mikeb's Builds Thread
Well I thought i'd better start with the build thread.
Think its been 3 months since I got my chassis pack from Handy. The chassis is nearlly there, need to finish fully welding and add suspension brackets.  Picked up donor parts at the weekend and have some shiney wishbones from talon so rolling chassis soon... well heres hoping

Looking good mate, getting the suspension brackets on is a massive milestone.

well not lots done but started tacking the rear suspesion mounts on, and there was a nice delivery of shiney shocks!
Added the metal panels in the drivers footwell, started fully welding parts of the chassis. Welder decided to start cutting out a lot thought this was the cold or the fact the welders getting on a bit. End up the connections in the plug had come loose, I guess the plug gets thrown around a lot as I only have two sockets in the garage.

Hey Dude, your TVR has the same engine that I have installed into the Roadster, (with a degree of difficulty)! What engine are you planning to use?

Small update on the build hopefully a bit more progress as I think I may have a couple of days in the garage coming up!
I've tacked on one side of the front suspension brackets and trial fitted everything. Thanks to Andy for getting my mushrooms modified (note anyone with 3ge mushies they will probably need modifying to get a full nyloc on the thread of the drag link). Theres also a bit of gap at the front edge (the back edge it touching) of the upper front wishbone mount where it sit against the front frame, from recollection this is to be expected.   So with a bit of a push the chassis should be finished soon. Can't wait to get it painted and panelled so I can start to actually build the car. So after starting this build in September I'm nearlly back to where I was with my firts build, moral of the story if you sell up keep your chassis somewhere you don't get much for them anyhow!

Mike
Glad you're building again! If you look in my photobucket photos below, you can see that I put all the bits from your last build to good use! Nearly finished now, so thanks! Actually, I need an exhaust for my Zetec install, so can you change your engine plans to Zetec. That way when you give up this time, I can get a bargain exhaust!!  Good luck with the build! Cheers Adrian
