Alex's TVR/250 Build - Page 3

Drummajor · #41 20th August 2013, 20:45

Any chance I could have one ( when I get back from my trip)?

Down&Out · #42 20th August 2013, 21:33

Super, is it getting different wheels or sticking with those?

I recon it could do with a bit of sidewall to go with the 60s looks.

New project is lovely however I have to say I fell in love with the project as it started, can I ask did, you just abandon the wedge shaped car or is that available for someone else to take over.

I would be very interested in that car.

Car looks fabulous Chris.
Are you going to take a mould from it before the top coat goes on?

Hello Chris
You'll remember that I'm interested in this too if it becomes available, though I'd prefer for you to do the construction work leaving me with interior, wiring/lights, and prep and paint.
Cheers

It will be getting some very nice alloy rimmed wire wheels.

Hi Peter

The original car and it's "buck" bodywork is still at the workshop. The bodywork is not actually useable as it was nailed together with glue and sticky tape for the purposes of mould making. We made some splash moulds of the front and rear to produce panels to go onto the Tuscan, so we are part way there....

Give me a call on 07901 544241 to discuss further.

Hi Steve

I haven't forgotten

Tribute Automotive · #50 15th October 2013, 19:26

Alex's car is nearing completion of prep for painting in red, I like the satin black guide coat personally!

AcC8braman · #51 15th October 2013, 19:28

Wow, want one

seanick · #52 15th October 2013, 19:35

Looks great Chris. I like the crisp line between the wing and the flat area of the bonnet. I also like the recess for the fuel filler, and the recess for the badge on the front.
It would be nice to see a pic of the rear vents too.
I can't remember, a one off, or are you going to take a mold/mould?
Just noticed the rear screen is less tapered than on the MX250.

Thanks Nick. I will get a pic of side vents when the colour goes on in a few weeks.

The rear window is MGB GT hatch glass, it comes with a very nice alloy trim too.

This is a one off, but we do have the moulds for the front an rear, so we can do something similar, one day.

Down&Out · #55 15th October 2013, 21:06

This is brilliant!

Whilst i like the mx250, ive always thought it was a bit mispropotioned, but this, and the original wedge design, is much more like it!

Hope things like this start appearing to buy soon.

Tribute Automotive · #56 9th November 2013, 19:28

It's painted.

AcC8braman · #57 9th November 2013, 19:30

Now that is that is very nice

zagmad · #58 9th November 2013, 20:03

Will look great with some chrome details and glass in to finish the profile. Are you going all out with wire wheels

Drummajor · #59 10th November 2013, 07:30

Utterly brilliant .
Think we will need to discuss a build for me when I return .
Need to get my mx250 inspected first !

y cymro · #60 10th November 2013, 09:26

Wow Chris, that is stunning. Great proportions to it.
I like the wheels, I wonder how they'd be painted graphite or black?
