This kinda makes my man parts tingle....
In reply to orphancars:
Very, very cool.
Hey Jeff, are you still working on the TVR? How's it going?
In reply to DukeOfUndersteer:
I don't think I've ever been thanked by a dude for someting like that before.....
Uhhh, you're welcome, I guess???
In reply to bravenrace:
Yup -- still working on the TVR..........as time and money allow. I forget -- are you a purist? If so, you'll be pissed at the build. If not, you might find it pretty cool, although, admittedly, there is very little TVR left at this point. It is mine tho
Interesting. A rear engined inline four always looks odd to be - probably because I am expecting a flat four. Very impressive looking build though.
...wait, it came out wrong... Thank you for providing me with said materials that one's tent shall me pitched in a way that one... ehh.... wait, thanks for posting the link to the nice automobile...
Impressively clean. Dry-weather driving car. It would be fun in a downhill, off-camber, decreasing radius turn. In the rain.
In reply to orphancars:
No, I'm not a purist at all. I'm gearing up to put a SBF in mine right now. I've been following your build, but haven't seen any updates for a while so I was wondering.

Car is being heavily worked on right now, bodywise..
Have fender flares on front and rear. Rear tires are a 315-35/17. Center of bonnet has been raised 2" to clear engine, and front of bonnet is being reworked to provide more air to radiator. And I still have to work the area under the doors to fit the side exhaust.
Pics soon.......have to get the car on the ground and out of the shop once the rain stops.
I like that a lot but I think I'd rather have the beetle convertible with the mid engined SBC that Paul Newman built in 1964 or thereabouts.

In the current issue of Motor Trend Classic.
On another note, I LOVE the BBS RKs on that.

My older sisters boyfriend built one of those back in the early 70's. I have to admit that the mid-engined design seems more appealing, even if you used the same Honda engine.

This was my same train of thought: Looking at first pic and thinking this could be interesting, but hey, its just a bug with a motor swap.
Second picture was a surprise!
Follow the picture/build link to the headlight picture. It is priceless. A true sign of what a different human the builder really is.
