Having owned an x308 that's quite impressive really (the tiny part), was always fun going somewhere new and not knowing how far you'd be hanging out the back of a parking space!
Always a massive boost when you get to the point of starting them after long periods of problems. Had no end of trouble with the MFI with the 280i kinda wish I'd taken the same route as you and dumped the Cologne v6 and found a nice 2.9 Cosworth lump!
Look forward to seeing more progress...
Finally got the project car moving, long way to go yet but pretty happy to have "driven" it all of 10ft :p
Plumbing in the rest of the new fuel pipe so we could use the cars actual fuel tank rather than an external one led to this:
Yeah it's a project car. Before i got it the thing had been sat for 3 years and was then sat for another year and a half before i had the time or space to do anything with it. Pretty much every component of the fuel system has needed replacing and there's still a lot to do within the engine bay...
Fitted a new cold start valve to the TVR and changed a load of washers out on the metering head, then preceded to try my hardest to upset most of the local population :D
More to do tomorrow as the warm up regulator needs to be taken apart to see just how buggered it is. Aren't projects fun? :)
Finally got round to removing the rest of the fuel system so I could continue sanding down the chassis. All of the fuel system had perished, the accumulator being the worst victim.
Thanks :) I need a bit of a break from painting now, joined the ETL mid May and it ended on the 1st of August, didn't have single guard model painted before I joined the competition :D
Finally got the TVR up off the ground so I can start rubbing the chassis down ready for a fresh coat of protective paint/wax/stuff.
May even have it running by christmas at this rate lol
Probably not to everyone's taste but oh well :p
Picked it up earlier this week, lovely burbly v8 :)
Sorry for the tiny pic it's the one from the advert as I haven't gotten round to taking any of my own yet.
