The final job?

Ok - the end is nigh!

I took the radiator our today and dropped it off at Gloucester Radiator Services - 140.00 next day radiator recore - great guys really know their stuff.

Will post some pictures of the finished article and a guide on how to fit it.

We're getting there...

....Pretty much all the jobs I wanted to do are finished now.

Just got the windscreen and radiator to do - then a full service and it's all good.

I've done about 300 miles now since refitting the manifolds. Going to have to tighten them up again shortly, but oil pressure is good - temp could be better (due to knackered rad), power seems fine. Ticking has gone. (Horay)

The car is mine 07/07/07

Drove across the country to look at the car.

It was a Chimaera 450 (1999), in Starmist blue with magnolia and blue hide and blue carpet.

The car needed a lot of TLC.
Particularly:

• The leather
• The hood
• The body work
• The Camshaft

However:

• It was a great price
• It has a brand spanking new chassis! Not due to accident damage but done under warranty before TVR when belly up
• It was the model I wanted in colours that I like

Images to come soon!

Cash parted with and driven home - sweet

Noticed a few problems - throttle response pretty poor, engine a bit tappy.
