Just got it back to our place about a week ago and are looking forward to finishing it out. Still a lot of work left. However it should be ready for the 06 season along w/ the Lola, maybe the MGB, but the Chevron will be out sitting out until we finish it after the horrific crash at Summit Point. Anyway you really dont see a lot of TVR's racing today, atleast not in the States. Let me know what you think. http://www.albumtown.com/showalbum.php?aid=60026&uuid=39632

Looks like you've put some effort into that unit . Shaping up nicely . When's the first race ?
A friend of mine races a TVR like that one (it's silver) . I've always thought they were pretty interesting . I have another friend that just finished a ground-up resto an a (stock) very early TVR , with the VW-style suspension . It's finished in a gray color with deep red wheels (wire wheels , IIRC) . Way too nice to use  .

His name wouldnt happen to be Rick Rock of Jeff Jacobelli would it? If it is, they're a friend of my dad. We're going to do a few test days at Summit Point WV and another at Nelson Ledges or BeaveRun to shake that and the Lola down. The first race will either be the Brian Redman Int'l Challenge @ Road America, May 19-22 or Watkins Glen w/ HSR. I'll try to get some up-to-date pics up soon. We've made a lot of progress. At 1720 lbs dry and 344hp it should be a blast to drive

Yup , you guessed it ... Rich Rock . He certainly runs the (you-know-what) out of his TVR . He had it over at our shop not too long ago , I think just to make me drool . He's a good dude too .

Looks excellent! I've wanted a TVR for years now. Hey Allen, instead of getting me a Mini can you find me a TVR??

I think you need a V-Tec powered Mini . I'm friggin' dying to build one (and I even have an "in" with getting the parts to do it ) .
