Will It Ever Get Finished?

wow man, that's impressive

wish I could do something like that, I'm having trouble enough already trying to gather the courage to merely paint the calipers on mine! :D

... hope ya wont mind me asking, but why a TR7? i mean it's not axactly the most desirable car one could think of

I agree. Im not a fan of the 7 but my missus likes them. It was a bit of a diversion for me because i've dealt in stags for the last 13 years. [hence the randy reindeer name].

The 7 is cheap and [sometimes]cheerful, is easy to mod, [V8 sitting in the garage winking at me] and the parts supply is readily available.

I did think of getting her an MX5 but I would get bored waiting for it to break down and I think an SC and an S2000 Honda are still a fair bit to pricey.

how's about an MG?

TVR? they do wedgy's as well!

bet you can find a nice rusty non-runner 420 SEAC for a couple of hundred! :D

been down the MG road. Not got on to a TVR yet. Probably the best sounding car about :P

I was lucky enough to have a guided tour around the TVR factory about 8 years ago. The guy who showed us around loved working there so much, he came in at weekends to show people around [so I was LED to believe]

This guy was a wealth of knowledge talking about, amongst other things composites. I don't seem to remember him talking about SEACs but thats probably because I was oggling over there own new version of the V8 at the time and trying to see if I could shove one up my coat. :winky:

The 99.9% finished article. Its great fun to drive despite being an asthmatic 2litre. No one knows what it is and lots of people laugh but its better than walkin and the top is down more than its up. Sadly, the lexter has to move on. We have been seduced by another 300ZX TT. But thats another story for another forum.
