TVR project

Postby sutol » Mon Dec 03, 2007 10:12 pm

Starting Jan, TVR Taimar/3000M project any tips appreciated, car for track only. Thinking of putting fuel lines in chassis and electrics in body for quickish body lift off if needed. Chassis shotblasted/welded and painted , ready for suspension and diff.
What do you think.

sounds yummy! any piccies?

your fuel lines and wiring idea sounds like a plan, but doesn't the body on those hook over the chassis at the back making removal tricky?


what engine are you running turbo 2.9? cossie V6?
(v8 sounds better tho)

V6 Essex with lots of money spent and a big turbo. Can't remember much about removing body ( 12months+ ago ) bit sticky at front but back OK, had to remove steering first.
Can't figure out how to upload pictures[:(] but will wait until motor and Mustang 4 speed are in chassis so it looks as if we are along a bit. Chassis looks good in Hammerite matt silk, bit pricey at 30 quid a tin but worth it.

It'll be nice to see an old TVR, I think they're a bit on the ugly side but I kinda like the styling all the same!
Pics are easy. Get yourself a Photobucket account (nothing to it, they have a guide on how to join up, even I didnt find it difficult!), then when you've got the pics you want in there just use the address with the "IMG" bit on it & copy it into your post.

Practical Performance Car (PPC) magazine, a monthly publication aimed at real car enthusiasts, with real-world cars. At PPC we pride ourselves in providing the most entertaining, informative and inspiring features for petrolheads everywhere. Each month we feature an eclectic mix of affordable performance cars, great driving adventures and world-class technical features for the DIY tuner.

Everyone who works on the magazine is a dyed-in-the-wool car enthusiast and this is reflected in the cars we drive and the topics we write about. Whether it be fast road, track-day or grass roots motorsport you’ll find it in PPC. Our editorial team is headed up by well known editor Will Holman. Will has a deserved reputation for his ’stick a V8 under the bonnet’ attitude to life and has had (and crashed/ had stolen/ rusted away) enough cars to fill a monthly magazine on his own. His editorial team is stacked with experience with the likes of Dave Walker (speciality engine management), of the sadly-missed Car and Car Conversions magazine, David Vizard, the legendary engine tuning guru, and Kevin Leaper (speciality buying cars in pubs) – ex technical editor of Practical Classics. Have a look at the Staff Cars and features to give you a flavour of PPC but for the real thing get along to your local WH Smiths or independent newsagent. PPC is on sale on the last Thursday of every month.
