The body-colored windshield frame would look a lot better if the whole car was painted black or dark gray/silver. The black rubber seals detract from that red paint job.

I like the small bullet-type turn signals but they could be done better such as on a Bristol AC or Cobra.

And I'm a fan of the body-colored rubber bumper paint job.

The cut-down windshield helps with the proportions of the car.

Very interesting. I remember a picture of a MGB that was converted to a tow truck, it was well done.
Thanks Dan.

Way back in the mid 70s, there was a local MG 1100 that was converted into a pickup truck.

After looking through the link I got very interested in a front valance from Frontline Developments [www.frontlinedevelopments.com] ; however after emailing them and to my disappointment here’s what they answered:

Thank you for your email.

We are presently waiting for new stock of the valance which is due next month.

However, the problem we have with shipping the valance abroad is the way the carriage is calculated.

We use UPS and they charge on volumetric weight as the package is fairly large. This means they use a rate for 30Kgs = GB pounds 162.42.

Please let me know if you have any further queries.
