Cheers Dave. I think he told me that the engine was built by the Heritage centre. Never went mad over that model myself but the attention to detail was remarkable. Good luck for the racing. Steve.

Me tto. Stunning car. Steve

@MyLilMule yes. Great to have our workshops. Steve.

Thanks Dave. A few more jobs to do now. Steve

Cheers Chris. Yes your right. Just a little mod & now they are so much better. Steve.

Thanks Andrew. Simple & effective. Steve.

Great idea moving the bulkhead back for storage. Thanks for the comment. Steve.

@@bigirch690 should be soon Rich. Lots to do. Dad.

Thanks Dean. Yes the electrics. Most of them are from Vauxhall cavalier. With a few Ford bits thrown in. Cheers. Steve.

Hi Kev. Well i think there will always be bits to do on an old car. Thanks for the comments. Steve.

Why do I hanker after my own problematic money pit so much? 🤔 Oh yes, the noise!

Thanks for that Andrew. Steve.

aha nice one. I after spending lots of money doing this, should have stuck with the Ftype. Thanks for the comments Dave. 😀😀😀. Steve.

It is out to 4650cc with a race cam. A bit rough on tickover. Verier timing sprockets. Baffled sump. Upgraded ecu. Goes like a bat from hell. New springs. 4 pot calipers & larger discs, drilled & grooved. Steve.

Hi Lee Yes it is morse taper 2. Some say they are not very rigid but I have taken cuts with a 60mm face mill with no problems. Yes Ham radio. M7DOZ. I bought a 991A multiband & put 2 huge aerials up. One for the multi & another for 2Mtr. Did some great DX work & then sort of lost interest. Not used it for quite a while now. Maybe get back into it at some stage. Hope the Mill works out well for you. Would'nt change mine for any other. Steve.

@@Steviegtr52 Cheers Steve, I'll get some tooling ordered (more money!) 73s!

Hi Em. Yes anything goes in a stew. Dad.

Haha. Well Bev is trying to loose weight.

Haha very funny. It did actually beat me. Only managed 3/4 of it. Thats why I usually do 150gm flour. This time i got over gready & did 200gm's. Serves me right I guess. Thanks for the comment Kev. Steve.

​@Steviegtr52 you could have saved me some

I think it was because the covid closedown took it's toll. I guess now it is fresh again.

Hi Dean. Yes probably never ending, but enjoyable. Steve.

Thanks Em. How do you know it's a She.???? Dad.

@@Steviegtr52 is it a s/he

@@emmasirrell6303 Erm dunno.????

Thanks Em.xxx Dad.

Thanks Kev. Lots of other stuff too. Probably over the next 2 years. Steve.🙂🙂🙂

Cheers Andrew. Drives so much better now. Still getting used to the tractor type driving of a TVR. Steve.😄😄😄

Hello there. Yes it would be much easier to do it that way. Like you say also stronger. Thanks for the comment. Steve.

I was told by a previous owner that the 2 precats had been removed. The main cat is still intact i beleive. It passed an MOT just before I bought it . No mention of any emission problems. Steve.

Thanks Dom. Yes it is music to the ears. Steve.

Thanks Dave. MMn was thinking about the track days. Steve.

Hi Rich. I was going to but was not sure of tube rules.So thought best not. Dad.

Thanks for that Wachuko. Steve.

Thanks Andrew. Nice to see you have lots of subscribers now. Brilliant. Steve.

I think you have had more V8's than all of us. I do remember that TVR with the Cherry bombs on. Was a great car. Steve.

Yes John it is very addictive. Thanks for the comments. Steve.

Hi Kev. Those gates with motors cost a grand total of £150. A company in Leeds does house & grounds clearance. It's some sort of charity group. Thats where they came from. The garage door was £120 2nd hand. Cheapskate or what. Thanks for the feedback. Steve.

Thanks for that Rob. Steve.

Thanks Rob.Appreciate the comment. Steve.

Hi Dean. Yes & wearing one edge of the tyres out quickly. Steve.

Hi Kev. Yes there are various types. There is one that you just drive the car onto 2 plates . Don't know how they work but Ed China did a vid using them. Thanks for the comments. Steve.

Hi Chris. I humbly apologise. I am still working on making camera mounts to fit in the car. At some point I will get it sorted out. Steve.

@Steviegtr52 Apology accepted! 😁 Keep up with the series, we're all loving it.

Eyup. Yes I know but the tracking was so far out that anything to let me drive to try out was enough. It was so dangerous as it was. After my run this weekend I will recheck again & see where we are. Thanks for the very precise comment. I may do a post test to see where it is . Steve.

Hi Will. It is not that hard to do really. But Iv'e always been into car stuff all my life so enjoy doing it. Plus being retired money is not too abundant any more. Thanks for the comments. Steve.

Thanks for that. I need to go back there at some point. Steve.

Thanks Andrew. Yes it was a task +. Would have been much easier with 2 people doing it. But it's all done now & the handbrake is holding so much better now. Thanks for the comments. Steve.

There are no receipts in the history of a new handbrake cable. So i guess it was 23 years old. So this one should last me out. Thanks for the comments. Steve.

Cheers Dave. Well last night i went out in the car & gave the brakes a good hard test. The handbrake is now working a lot better. The brake pedal is long though. I have gone from one piston caliper at the front to four, so maybe it is using a bit more fluid. But they work great. The engine is mental & I'm sure as quick as the Ftype was. But it has had some serious mods in it's life. +50 liners making 4650cc. Sports cam. Vernier timing . Baffled sump. Upgraded ecu. Precats removed. I have a readout of a rolling road teast done at I think TVR performance. 286 at rear wheels. Which equates to about 335 at the flywheel. With a ton, I guess thats why it takes off like a scolded cat. The Ftype was nearly 2 tons with 550 BHP. Take care see you on the next vid. The car does wonder around on hard acceleration. I have some laser tracking guages coming this week as I am sure the front is towing out a lot. Steve.

@Steviegtr52 Nice one! Tracking will make a massive difference, they are quite sensitive to it. I'd maybe bleed the brakes again now you've had a proper heat cycle through them just to check. And if still long maybe worth double checking master cyl seals? But as long as you end up with a pedal you're happy with and know that's what matters 👍

Your welcome.

Hi Petter. I have been watching Kurtis,wife,& dog for a while now. He does some amazing work. Plus the size of some of his machinery. Thanks for the comments. Steve.

Hi Claudio. Yes i have used the battery optimate since new. It is hard to tell if the battery is low because of how slow the engine turns anyway. But in over 5 years never had a problem & same battery from new. I have just sold the bike due to me getting older & the heavy bike. So I have bought a smaller BMW F800st which is much lighter but also much less power. Steve.

Hi Claudio. The seat cover is a permanant. The origonal one has to be unstappled & removed, then replaced with this one. It came for Italy. I did fit it & it was quite hard to get it in just the right place. But looks good. Steve.
