Very nice!
Are you going all the way back to original or keeping a few of the later alterations such as the headlights?

Very nice! Are you going all the way back to original or keeping a few of the later alterations such as the headlights? The one you see above is #1, it will be a fast road car so will need headlights, indicators etc etc .... Now, number 2 & 3 will be FIA race cars...!! |

Stunning! thanks for taking the time to share the pictures, It always worries me that one day these type of metal working skills will be lost or gone forever!

Sorry for the lack of words on this at the moment, trying to juggle work with getting this thread up to date....
Last lot of pictures were around 18 months ago, I'm trying to get it all up to present day then i can add posts when we do more!
As an aside, the pictures are of #1... Today #2 bodyshell will be completed!!
You will notice several subtle differences between the 2 bodies when they are side by side

Is that an Overdrive box fitted to the gear box? Yes, as original equipment to the TR4 range, A type overdrive with overdrive working in 2nd/3rd and 4th. We also fit a 'logic' box to the overdrive system so when you change gear it automatically disengages overdrive, up or down the box. With this one being a long distance cruiser, an overdrive box is necessary. #2 & #3 will have a different type of gearbox altogether for racing. |
