Sold it - lack of off road use.
Sorry guys - I got confused. It was Valentines Day on Thursday not April Fools, right?

After the TGV, cash was a tad tight so I stuck to finishing off jobs I had the bits for for a while.
Fitted the Terrafrima springs, shocks and turrets to the front.
Removed LR patterned rear seats and fitted grey leather ones I'd picked up for a tenner.
Removed Kenlowe fan - didn't want to risk the TGV warranty by not having a viscous fan fitted.

Fitted an Allisport header tank after my plastic one exploded in spectacular fashion when reversing the Sankey into the drive!!

Having pondered for a while, I fitted the leather Recaro front seats from a Sierra Cosworth.

The big plan is.......
1 Lose the air con
2 Fit a full width intercooler in its place
3 Fit a 2nd alternator in place of the AC pump.

I'm sure I've forgotten loads of bits along the way - just remembered I swapped the naff square mesh on the grille for diamond mesh. This is what it used to look like in the early days.

Thanks Dave.
The standard TGV is 135bhp and 277lb/ft. Allisport claim 35% increase with the full width intercooler and tweaks. The maths works out to 182bhp. The difference on the road is great, especially when the icooler was fitted. Although, to be fair, the torque converter loses some of the power. I think my TC is ready to pop! For a couple of days before I broke down, the TC wouldn't lock up on the Mway.

Is that the standard front bumper mate with 2 recovery eyes in

Yes but they were only there to "plug" a couple of holes left from the number plate mount removal. I wouldn't recover anything with them unless you fancy tearing your bumper off.

Lol that's what I was thinking ( wasn't sure if you had fabricated some thing behind it to strengthen it )

No - just a bit OCD about random holes with no use. Bumper long gone now.
A write up of the updated bumper is coming soon.
