Photo Blog: Chassis 3643 Refurb Project, RHD Conversion and more.

3643 has landed in Australia just waiting for Customs clearances now.
I just found out the weird front spoiler is a Gran Turismo item. I wondered of its origin, thanks ProvaMo. I plan to remove it though is there anyone interested in it?

Picked up 3643 today......its been on a long journey. Last leg was a 450km tow home.
Now to test a few things then stip down. Hopefully that ZF is ok

Congratulations on finally getting her home. Keep us up to date on the progress.

Cheers, will post up the whole process. Trying to decide about going back to standard flares or Group 5 Flares? Im liking standard but a lot of the body has been cut away....

Also motor is seized, looks like condensation has got into the engine via the intake. But engine number matches body so happy in that regard.

Pulled cracked screen to measure up for replacement.Came out ok.
A bit of surface rust under seal but nothing to scary.

Pulled engine cover as engine is seized. Hoping damage isn't to bad and original block is salvageable.

are you going to pull engine out OR try to free it in place?

Originally i hoped to get the car driving before stripping but that is not possible now. Will pull the motor and strip.

Was the true condition of the car disclosed to you by BHCC?

yeah no dramas with BHCC.

look forward to watching it progress, the shipping seemed awefully fast? who did they use?

I used America West to purchase and ship the car. I'm happy with the car...

sounds like a heck of a project you have going. I look forward to seeing the progress.

I like the rims.

Another Pantera owner quite near to me has changed his car from left to right hand drive.

He had the dash made by an EX TVR man from the Blackpool factory and the quality is A1, he does of course have the mould, if you would like contact details let me know.

Original cars are the type I prefer, but its your motor car.

Peter Hi it's Sharkey. Please PM your email address & fee so I can paypal you $ to inspect the GT5-S.

I don't know how to send you a PM. I went to the members section, could not find first or last name.

Hi Peter
There is a Guy local to me who makes a RHD dash but thanks for information.

Started on the flares today as you know the flares on my car never looked right. Today I chipped away the fibreglass and found that a previous Owner has sliced the guards bent them out to make a flare and fibreglassed over them. The fibreglass came off pretty easy. Plenty of metal to mess around with...

Pulled the Ugly GT front spoiler off today.
