awesomeness, I am curious though? of how the rear doors will open, in my head I think the hinges will need modifications so the rears don't jamb against fronts when there shut?, its a brilliant idea as its phat but keeping similar lines

at-least with the fronts there is some room behind the wings to play with, its a nice bit of work you've done fairplay,

I was a bit sceptical at first, but you've managed to create one of the best looking wide arch jobs ive seen. Great stuff.

I just glanced and saw 3 cylinders, and thought you'd built a 2 stroke Saab/Ford hybrid. Nothing would surprise me though, but it turned out to be Fords finest boat anchor. Good piston destruction though, you must have been trying to ventilate the block that well.

They are both superb, love proper 70s style fast road cars before everything went jacked up. My dad had a early Celica on Scarborough Racing banded steels haha.

now on the last panel to play with....the sharks grill front panel... was going to bin it....but this panel wasn't used for long, and it had been on the car all its life....so I didn't have the heart to throw it. The way I see it is....It's the Marmite story.... ....you either love it or hate it....and if you hate it....it's done it's job!!!!

Wow Ray, about time! That looks awesome, do you know any good paint guys? ( Hi Tomi ) That's a good use of a rare grille. How are they taking it on the P6 forum, any heart attacks? Will I see it this year driving about the North West? I'll PM you.
