Great, now I know something I didn't when I started
and before anyone says anything yes the plate should be on the S8 But this was my Dads own plate which he had for years he recently past away and I have vowed to keep it He loved his motors which is where I inherited the petrol bug from  Quote:

I bought her as a bit of a wreck and spent two years stripping and rebuilding her. The previous owner lost his job in the city and left her under a cover. So she was mouldy and suffering badly.
I have re trimmed the interior from top to bottom and completely re done the bodywork etc. New hood everything replace with stainless fittings and sorted out the TVR electrics  Just a few engine mods and a leaky diff to sort and she will be better than when she left blackpool. Oh and when the stainless Y piece gets fitted she will make even more noise. I changed and upgraded many of the TVR irritations and she now even sports TT door mirrors courtesy of A8 parts which look as though they were meant for the car inmho.Goes like a train too My other motor is a 75 Triumph Stag with the original V8 so I have a V8 collection now  I will sort a few more pictures when I get chance if anyone is interested http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/attachmen...1&d=1505205926

The retrim you've done there looks awesome.
Look after that Triumph V8 they're getting rare now. As you'll know they can get hot. Big misconception was that it is a Rover V8. You have some nice rides

Yes it works but looks like you may have over-complicated it....
