Build help
Hi all, new to this forum, but have been building a Tiger Super Cat since 2010.
I've started thinking that the only way I'm going to get it finished in the foreseeable future is to get some help with the build.
So, I'm hoping that I might be able to get dome pointers on who might be good to approach, and possibly if there's anyone to avoid!
Thanks in advance.

Detail the work needed on your post buddy and the level of finish (road, IVA, track only, race) and someone may be able to help.
Welcome along
Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!
Please read my ring story:

Welcome to the forum - an ideal place for answers and inspiration!
As suggested a summary of the work required and the purpose of the car will help a lot. If we can see what stage you're at and understand where
you want to get to with it then people may be able to help. Even better if you can upload some photos so we can get a visual idea of what's
required.

Good points - I would have put more into the first post, but when trying to post in the New Members section, I just kept getting a MySQL error message
every time.
Anyway....
I think it's fairly well along the way, and I'm pretty sure I've got all the parts needed to finish it. What I'm really
interested in now is just getting it through IVA, then I can start using it, and putting nice extra touches on.
It's up on its wheels with:
- Engine (2.0 Silvertop Zetec), gearbox (Type 9), and drivetrain in place. The only work on the engine has been new cambelt & water pump, and one
of Tiger's ERA short sumps
- Body paneling all on
- Interior trim done (apart from the tunnel top and dashboard not being fixed)
- Brakes installed & working (Willwoods up front, donor Sierra drums at the back)
- Cooling system all in place.
- Fuelling to be done through ZX6 carbs, and a Bogg Bros manifold
- Ignition to be handled by a Megajolt.
Still to be done:
- Electrics (and I have been told this can be the single biggest thing)
- Front mudguards
- Exhaust
- Fuelling system linking up
- Ignition system installed
- Fixing bonnet & nose cone
- Clutch & throttle linkages
I've also got a decision problem around the gearshift. I have both a Tiger and Rally Design turret extension, and a Sierra and Rally Design gear
lever. I can't quite get the combination right, but I just need to get back out and play a bit more.
There's a few pictures of it here, on Google Drive
Hope that lot helps, and thanks for coming back

Forgot this bit. The purpose right now is just road use - I have no intentions of track use (for now, anyway).
Just want it IVA'd and on the road.

it looks tidy, wiring can be great fun, and should be split into 2 parts, car - wipers, lights etc and ecu/ign.
Have you got a loom or are you going to start from scratch?

Thanks Howard - I've tried to my best to do a clean, tidy build (doesn't always work out that way though, of course).
Yeah, I've got the wiring loom that came from Tiger with the kit. It's all roughly in position and spread through the chassis and
interior.
It's just going to have the flyscreen, so no wipers, washers, or fan to worry about for IVA.
I've still got all that stuff from the original kit purchase, so might think about those things after IVA.
