Found this project on Imgur. I understand there's a lot of love here for TVRs, and some of you might call it sacrilege. I think they did a wicked job. Full photo gallery (including all upgrades) is !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! .

Yes, but it's all pretty much coming from Scary. :P

Nothing to be mad about. Taking an old battered TVR and giving it a new lease old life should be rewarded with a knighthood.

Impressive! I'm digging the NA-Miata seats with the built-in speakers, good call and period-correct! The only thing I don't like is the Rover engine...they sound good but I've seen the suffering they cause when they fail. Drop in an aluminum SBC or SBF anyday.

No kids yet. Will isn't that great of a name. I'm leaning more towards naming my boy Graeme, or Alexander. Good strong names.

Well yes one could be imported, but I imagine there is very little parts support, if any over here. I guess what I'm wish for is more easily available interesting things like TVRs with the associated parts support...

I like it but I wish he'd coordinate his colors. Blue LEDs inside, red accents in the engine bay?

As a TVR fan I now need a new pair of pants. My only gripes are that I don't like white interiors and it needs moar 4.0 straight 6. I do like that he used the same exact seats that are in my car.

I think he did an absolutely fantastic job. The interior looks nice as fuck. Nice touch with the mx5 seats with the speaker headrests. Really fun little toy

Ohhhhh , you meant "will" as in a legal document. See I thought the "made" was all about the birds and the bees, and I'm not ready for kids, but I have some name ideas, and this was all just a weird misunderstanding. These things happen.

But no, I do not have a will.

Makes me consider switching attainable dream car funds from a De Tomaso to a TVR. The leather upholstery is whut do's it for me but instead of the carbon fiber I would have just replaced the wood burl veneer. I like wood.

I quite like that. Personally I'd have either gloss black, sating black or really dark stained wood instead of the fake carbon on the dash.

Nice though :)
