	It is isn't it. Nice to see thought and effort (as well as skill) being put into a chop rather than 3 inches being merrily hacked off and the pillars given the old persuading device! What made you choose a Merc V8 for the Herald and what are you aiming at with the finished car (style and usage)?

	Welcome aboard! Glad you made it. I didn't realise you were Margate based. Love the chopped Minx! As an ex-5.0 Herald owner myself I can definitely confirm that you're in for some fun! ;D

	What are you doing with the back end.... 300+ bhp & swing-axles could be... er... entertaining! And as for the Minx.... That's just stupenously cool. I love the way the 'chop is in progress with most of the interior still intact. Heroic!

	Those are both going to be great cars when they're done, the Herald sounds like it'll be fun, and I love the look of that Minx!
