Greetings Fellow TVR Folsk:
I guess its time for me to admit that i have a stalled project and that
its even close to the end. I need incentive to jump back in and finish
it. The hard part is already done (or at least most of it).
I have a transition car (Vixen body & M chassis) Chassis # 2311T. I t
was originally a blue-green. Car sat out for a long time but didnt get
many miles - only 27K. Still has original TR6 driveline. Car was down to
bare chassis. Chassis is mostly done except for installing master cyl
and brake fluid and exhaust system. Body is painted and back on chassis.
Sunroof needs to be redone and seems to be a stumbling block. I need to
get window assys back on the doors, New carpet for the interior, sort
the wiring fill with fluids and Im sure a lot of other things before I
can even start it.
So how do I get off of Dead center? I tell myself that before I get back
to the TVR, I need to get a new front suspension on my Morgan...and that
seems to be going slowly too.
By the way I couldn't abide that blue green, so mine is now bright
yellow and the color really looks nice on the car.
Good luck to all of you who will finish your projects long before i do.
I'll be glad to listen to incentive methods.
