Overhaulin' - Sunbeam Tiger

Post by dpuzey » Wed Jul 15, 2015 8:24 am

Overhaulin' is an Ameerican show where car designer Chip Foose rebuilds and sometimes modernises older cars. In the most recent series he overhauled a Sunbeam Tiger. This show has now started to appeared on UK satalite TV. So if you have Discovery Turbo then check out the show at 3pm today 15th July or it will be repeated on 28th July at 8pm or 12am (midnight) on 28th/29th July.

Another US show Fanthom Works has also featured a Tiger in the latest series, no idea when thsi will be shown in the UK though.

Be interesting to hear what 'points out of 10' folk give this 'restoration'

Having just watched a repeat of this programme I am wondering if anyone has any idea who makes the aftermarket front cross member used on this Tiger.

You are spot on, a very impressive fabrication job.
