Busy Busy

The good weather has certainly opened garage doors letting classic cars flood out ,I've never seen so many on the roads even during the week and on my way into work.Fantastic !!
Been busy as ever in the workshop with servicing and MOTs and the big restoration jobs coming on nicely (see projects pages)
Had some tasty cars in for repair recently one of which seems to of started something off with the workshop lads and myself to be honest in the shape of a TR8.
More to come on that one..
Mark McLean's Stag also been in for some gearbox work as this lovely motor is for sale at the moment and he wants it to be in top order for its new owner, is only just been in for sub frame and trailing arm bushes as he wasn't happy with the old ones.This will be a top car for someone as its proven itself with completing CT Round Britain recently.Details on CT website cars for sale.

Hmmm TR8s

Red Top fits a treat..

With the Coupe project now in full swing the trial fitting of the Vauxhaul Red Top was needed as chassis and body alterations Will be needed.
With some careful juggling and measuring we got the engine and gearbox in such a position that minimal alterations were needed.Even the oil filter issues that we first thought we would have were dealt with without any problems.
Fabrication is under way now of engine and gearbox mounts with the body shell and bulkhead undergoing repairs.

The rear axle may have some changes too as we need a testbed for a Subaru impreza diff ,cv shafts ,coil over set up being designed by friend / engineer (GT6 Mike Bestard)for his own EFI GT6.

Looking good.
