Yep, they're a TR8 part, it's a heat shield between the floorpan & the centre boxes of the exhuast. It's not steel, I think it's fibreglass.

Yeah, and if you're not careful, like me, you can easily tear it when pulling the hand brake cable out.

The front end is coming along nicely, stripped out the suspension, steering, subframe, rad mount, engine sump etc. Sent most of it off to be powder coated. In the meantime I've cleaned,rubbed down, primed & painted the front wheel arches & chassis rails. A couple of weekends to spend cleaning & painting parts then I'll be putting it all back together. New springs, shocks, hub bearings, polybushes etc. You never know it might be sat back on it's wheels in a couple of months! [:p]

I know, It's quite frustrating having the car stuck in the garage with all this lovely weather we're having. Roll on 2011. [:)]
