Evening Mr Rodgeevans,just curious to know if yours is an earlier model than the 04 plate suggests(being an import)and how are the rear arches holding up ?

Rear arches are not looking too good and are going to need some attention, that and new bumper are next on my list, unfortunately I don't have a nice big workshop like you to do the work in.

My apologies, I didn't see the rear bit 

 

We do have the rear listed but unfortunately it is special order so would be around 6-8 weeks for manufacturing and 4-5 weeks delivery to the UK by sea.

OK thanks I may just have to bite the bullet and order then, was hoping to get it wrapped before then but may have to delay getting it wrapped if that's my only option

We have a ChargeSpeed Type 1 on the shelf, in stock and ready to ship so there's no wait time on it.

We're the official ChargeSpeed dealer and can also supply INGs as well. 

Thanks for the reply, That link is for a front do you have a rear in stock as it was the rear I was after, can purchase straight away if so.

As per description original or copy wanted of either or if you have anything else let me know and see if it turns my head.

Reverse lights

Brake lights

Fog lights

Bit hard to capture in daylight but you get the idea

So fitted the sequential rear led indicators little more complicated than the guides showed being an import. Had to deconstruct the connector to remove the fog and then rerun a secondary reverse wire. Then hooked up so the optional outside running light acts as additional brake lights and then the brighter option brake lights are now a dual fog light. Pictures to follow.

Few little bits going on but mainly just trying to source and store parts for the next stage of resto/modification. Managed to get a set of heated electric seats for 99p off ebay locally so will be retriming them with my leather before fitting, also got a set of hr headlights so spent some of today removing the 8 pin Connector and changing to a 6 pin connector and fitting.

Picked up a set of the sequential led rear indicators but not sure whether to fit now or wait till I find a chargespeed rear bumper

Good luck, I'm in the process of resurrecting mine too, it is now back on the road at least, but still a long list of jobs/mods to be done

Welcome to the forum

Excellent stuff, after a yellow and black when they are available

Wow, just wow.

Absolutely amazing stuff

Welcome mate, I'm a Wickford Z too, had it for about 14 years but was off the road last few, just put it back on road, will look for you about.

Looking good, you trust your kids to wash your pride n joy? 

Normally no but as its in need of a trip to the bodyshop I let them this time 

Front wings fitted and v2 put back on, succumbed to another purchase and got some HR lights to go on now too

Small update on the resurrection. All brakes now changed, first service done, undersealed, had it checked over for a pre-mot just to see if anything major was required, but other than the brakes needed bleeding and the w-brace, although not gone yet should be changed as i don't think it will last another year. So purchased an ultra racing replacement. Will likely do the front one before next year too. So MOT is Tuesday and it will be back. Got a miltek and front wings to fit and a few other little bits before I move on to rear arches and refurbing the lmgt's and refreshing the ICE. Also started cleaning the engine bay which led to purchasing some cf battery brake covers.

So after nearly 4 years operation restore has started. Had some helpers clean her, then as the brakes needed changing anyway have started the brembo conversion which i have had for over 10 years!, new uk 550cca battery fitted and terminals, front brembos now fitted and rears should be done over the next couple of evenings ready for a full service next week followed by mot and then another oil change already insured so can then tax the beast.

Not the most interesting picture but as she hasnt been on the road for comming up to 4 years a Good clean was needed before working out exactly what is needed go bring her back to her best.

Thanks everyone, glad to be back, always enjoyed the site, just going through all the parts I have stored and creating a list of everything I need to get back on the road unfortunately zeditis is striking already and wants are taking over, like a chargespeed rear bumper always wanted one, so I'm going to get one just with everything else an original may have to wait and no one seems to do a copy these days

After a few years away, buying a house, travelling for work, kids etc. I am back still have the same 350 (could bring myself to part with it), however it has been off the road for some time now and in need of some major TLC, so over the next few weeks/months I am hoping to restore to its former glory, and do even more to it going forward, lots of bits already on order and will update in due course.

The old build thread, wow has it really been 9 years since an update

Did you get another 10 made if so I am interested 

Father in law has a full set of spare wheels for the Tuscan S with tyres although not sure how much life in them but could find out, he brought a brand new set at some point even though the set on the car werent bad he just wanted it immaculate for TVR shows etc, and still has the old set laying around since his Tuscan tried to kill him he has no use for them. In case you want a track set or a set to get re-furbed
