TVR - Cleaning Up

Cleaning Up

So currently am waiting on some new parts to get delivered before continuing with putting the car back together.  So one thing I am waiting on to come from the UK is an ACT Cherry Bomb exhaust system.  Going to take a while for it to get here as the nice chaps at ACT are modifying it for better transport to Japan and easier assembly.  Still no need to put the old exhaust back on at this point, so released the last couple of bolts and removed.  Still all in very good shape, just a couple of scratches, but a keeper for Shaken tests every 2 years.

Cleaned up, protected and ready to store up in the garage roof.



Next part of an ongoing job to clean up the chassis as best I can now.  Later am considering a body off restore and do the job properly, for now just cleaning where I can and see if the cleaning shows up any immediate faults.
14+ years of dust and grim to clear off.


Improving bit by bit.


One thing that did arrive this week was the diagnostic cable and a copy of Roverguage software.  I can't use fully until the engine is running, but did give the chance to connect it up and make sure it works.


All looking good, and can check for any existing error codes.


OK there was one, I cleared it for now but may need to check that resistor if it comes back - a simple resistor that switches the car to different fuel maps.
