One question, the join line from the bottom of the rear light, down past the back of the rear wing & the rear valance, does this reamain visable or is it filled in? Hi Brad - I'm no Tiger Cop but on mine and on my Alpine the seam is visible so I'm siding with Martin. On a curious side note, did you...

think i'm going to add drain holes which i can inject wax into rather than make the plate removable. Hi Brad - sounds like a good idea - now that you have your compressor you can use an oiling wand to keep the sills "lubed". Interesting little device with an omni-directional head - basically squirt...

Simple GoPro Hero 3 camera, mounted using a roll bar mount on the front anti roll bar The full video is fantastic Tony - even had the heart in mouth when the corner was "shortened" at (I think) Les Combes (handled with aplomb!). The resolution and sound from the GoPro very impressive - even had a s...

http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc451/BradsTiger/120620132914_zps19ed8180.jpg Hi Brad Are you going to leave the bottom patch panel you have at the rear of the front inner wheel arch as an access panel? I'm toying with the idea of placing either a couple of grommets or a removable plate to allo...

Gents, Thank you for the fine pics and videos. Brought back memories of a visit to Spa for the '86 Grand Prix (glowing turbos and discs - what an era). Really impressed with the valance mounted cam and exhaust note; the crackle from the pipes on overrun was magnificent. Interested in what cam/mic yo...

Wondering about shipping the body on the Rotisserie did you have any problems with it shifting? Hi, We travelled about 60 miles with no problems with it shifting but I would pay attention to a couple of things. Measure your rotisserie end to end and add a metre as some of the tilt trays run a short...

Re: In for a Penny

Anyway short video of the car on the road. Sorry about the dirty windscreen. Mal - the only thing missing was a pan over to the driver. I'm guessing the grin was ear to ear! Dash has come up a treat and the car sounded good and solid - seemed to pull really strongly as well. What fantastic roads yo...

Well, you're missing out on a lot of fun then, aren't you :wink: Isn't a Kiwi's idea of fun standing on a bloody great bridge, looping a bit of rubber around your ankles and jumping? Anyway - here's a bit of rust! Took the front exhaust pass through covers off for enlarging and it's a nice little s...

Those flares are enormous. Your garage will feel a lot more roomy when they have gone. It looks like someone went to a lot of trouble creating them. Is that an Interceptor/FF in the background? What colour is it going to be? Red again? That's a helluva pick up Martin - it is an Interceptor but not ...

Baste that Turkey

Ah, brings back fond memories - shell on flatbed :mrgreen: I had mine dumped on tyres, having a purpose built rotisserie holding the shell in place on truck is very cool :D Hiya Tomaselli, The rotisserie is about the best investment I've made thus far - the rig works a treat and all I had to do was...

Hi Tom, daunting but exciting project, good luck. I do have one shot I'd like, Ive got flares on the front like yours and I'm thinking of putting her back to original. If anything the back could do with a small flare, what are your plans? Could you post up what I might expect to see in a shot blast...

The old girl hasn't seen much road time over the past few years, so it's a little sad when the fastest she's been recently is about 50mph backwards... http://stoc.sunbeamtiger.the-fastest.net/Sandblast/20130404-0933-HRO260-288.JPG http://stoc.sunbeamtiger.the-fastest.net/Sandblast/20130404-1004-HRO2...

Another Tiger down below

Restoration of my Tiger is now well underway so thought it about time to start a few threads and post a few images. Car is now stripped, blasted and undergoing panel "recovery" though I am pleased to say that rust has pretty much passed the car by - a blessing. The panhard mount was an exercise in s...

:D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IyDk_pRtlug G'day Mal - I've been reading lots of info regarding cooling the Tiger - horn hole covers; spring loaded covers, ducting and so on. Me thinks your approach will probably prove most effective! Looks Great! (...and like Martin, I have some serious drive e...
