Me too. I especially like how they kept the side trim line and widened it through the flares. And the wheel/tire/stance combination.

I like it, but not sure I like how flat the top of the flare is. Makes me want to sit my beer can on it.

I see what you're saying Carl, but when you get old like me you have to have some place to set. Unfortunately, my rear end is too fat for those flares :-)

I have the May edition of MG Enthousiast magazine in wich a detailed story is told how it was build. The engine intake was also heavily modified.
I will try to sent a picture if Curtis(our moderator) approves that I show it in this forum. Copy rights !

I really like the over all look and stance of the car but I'm not all that crazy about the interior and I might would have gone with different wheels too.
