Paul J Posted January 27, 2020 Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 After much thought I have just become the owner of another project car, TR5 UDH 214F Chassis No CP1503 which will soon be replacing my TR4A and TR6. It's a very unfinished project which stalled in the 90s comes with a new chassis, floors and inner and outer sills, originally from Wallsall. Paul Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Great to see another 5 about to be rebuilt and back on the road where it belongs. Looks like a really worthwhile Project. Cheers Conrad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tom Fremont Posted January 27, 2020 Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 Hi Paul, Looks promising ( scant rust through )! I see it has the '69 wheels, rarest of the lot. My Rostyle wheelcovers ( which I distilled from ~ a dozen ) are taking up too much space now that I decided never to fit them. When your gaze falls upon this finishing touch put a query on here and if I still have them they can be yours. They're in good but not perfect condition; price will reflect as much.

Cheers, Tom Hi Tom Thanks for that Tom very early stages for me at the moment to be thinking of wheel trims, in fact I was not aware the wheels were hard to find as I only have the four. This morning I got the car on a lift to examine underneath, indeed I was pleasantly surprised it has a new chassis completely reinforced in all the suspect areas along with all new suspension gear which has been powder coated and well preserved, new floors, sills and boot. All the attention will be to the tub which has been stripped of its paint 20+ years ago and is coated in surface rust (hopefully), it's a good project that should yield a very tidy TR5. If you still have the Rostyle wheel covers I could well be interested. Regards Paul Quote Link to post Share on other sites
M. Pied Lourd Posted January 28, 2020 Report Share Posted January 28, 2020 Hi Paul, Good Luck with your project. I look forward to following along. Cheers Tush Quote Link to post Share on other sites
