Morning Gents!
Just thought I'd drop a little note to say hello.
I have been thinking about getting/building a kit for many years, but time and money were always in short supply. Then the perfect storm of circumstances saw a deal struck for my father in laws Tiger and she is now in my garage!
The only downside is that the cylinder head is currently sitting on the bench, with a potential sticking valve. I have refurbished the head and cannot see any evidence of the valve issue, which may have been the valve stem oil seals, now replaced. Of course, the opportunity was taken to replace the standard cam with a Newman Cams 'Ultimate Torque Cam'...
All the parts are there, so just need time in the garage to put her back together.
MOT booked for next Wednesday...

Plan is to put it back together and on the road, just to see how much fun I can have. Then either make plans from there or sell!
Based in Medway, I should really update my profile.

Want or not, I doubt I'll get a pass out for that one!
Besides, this poor car has sat since 2009 and only about 300 miles in the previous year to that!
Let's see how she goes when back on the road, before committing to long road trips...
