Just had to wire up an E type voltage regulator to my Dodge van to get it charging as in their infinite wisdom Dodge fitted theirs inside the ECU. £30 for an E type one or £400 for a Dodge ECU, no way did I want to spend that and besides the ECU is otherwise redundant as removed the EFI years ago and also fitted a stand alone distributor !
Sam and Caroline have been busy stripping and masking the TR3. Engine bay to do and it's ready to go for paint.
The TVR 350i is going to become a 480i. Not for a while though as have a few other Rover V8 engined cars to finish first !
Just as we finished the hood and tonneau fitting along with various other mechanical issues the owner has decided to have the TR3 painted. So apart it comes again !
I am amazed at how many classics are still hidden away. Another one surfaced today. Going to be a long haul I think, but worth it.
Van week, GMC ,which was a seriously expensive conversion back in the day, had a new electric fan and controller, water leaks sorted, electric exhaust valve fitted along with a hidden switch, tailpipe reset, refurbished alloys with new tyres, some wiring tidied up and a repaired and balanced prop fitted. Then today some welding on our old Sprinter as it's been a bit neglected of late due to no Speedway or Pitbike use.
