My TVR(x7)

I don't really feel like writing a tome just thought I would show you guys what I have been working on since september. I should also clarify that though I would like to do this build justice I am a student with a very modest income.

anyway, without further ado my '69 TVR Vixen S2 frame that I just recently finished dropping an '80 rx7 12a in.

here you can see the lovely engine mounts I have made with my friend (all of the work is done by us, not by a shop)

here it is all plumbed and wired up with the fiberglass back on. as you can see I have done a very professional job setting up the dash board.

If you are wondering that green thing is a very temporary gas tank.
