As it is now, the car looks FAT with big wheels filling out the guards.  Engine bay - two thumbs up!  Little custom touches like the glove-box, petrol filler door, cowl vent removal, vents in the engine bay, C4 running gear, all make for a killer kustom that probably drives and handles 100% better than before.  I like it, I like it a LOT.  But I still prefer the original fawn/red colour combo.  A lot of people preferred it as a red/red car.

Wow,

What an interesting background.  This really beautifull machine is a credit to its previous and now current owners who have really put their dream into reality.

And yes alot of credit should also be given to the craftsman & women involved with the transformation into a princess... im assuming its a girl, cause shes very very nice.

This car is definatley an eye opener and a jaw dropper and most of all a really gorgeous and very inspiring car.

Congratulations on the terrific Job! ;27

Amazing that nobody has picked option C - the red basher.

Sure, its lovely to have a nice, fresh "restored" car, but the things you can do in a bashed up old car include

- driving it in the rain, sans top.  It's fun, really it is.  Until the water gets into the electrics, and the car becomes haunted.
- breaking down on the Pacific Highway, in the middle of Nowheresville, in the middle of the night, and just leaving it there.
- parking all day at the KMart
- sliding off the road (in the rain) into a small wooden pole and not caring too much about repairs, because the paint is crap anyways
- spilling drink/oil/hamburger etc on the interior
- tell people that "Yes, it really IS an old MG/Thunderbird/Benz"
- rebuild it.  Yes, thats right.  Actually DOING the car was (to me, at least) just as much fun as owning it, done.
