That looks sharp. Just don't get caught out in the rain with it.

We've borrowed some off that car for my '79 V8 car the split front hood, the grille shape, smoothing seams plus some other mods....:

We've still got to shape the grille area but we've accomplished the hood modification.

I Was looking at it this morning. I love all the changes but wished they had relocated the tank filler neck to the middle of the trunk, I just love that mod.

Re rain, I never drive my B in inclement weather. Have been surprised a few times by light shower but you just have to pick up the pace. But then my previous LBC for ten years was a Moke with no top.

All that nice work and money produced a very nice looking car. But, why would he use, <span style="text-decoration: underline">what looks lik</span>e, a FRAM oil filter?

Gee wiz!

Love the BE treatment of the door surround.
Agree with the gas filler relocation (QuickSilver).
Assume the interior has not been completed (no pix other than the dash).
Am I seeing top bows or is this just support for the tonneau?
Drivers side chrome strip mis-alighned.
Love the use of the PVC plumbing joint into the heater blower box.
Overall, IMHO, this is a very nice car with tasteful retro mods and restyling, and if I had the money, would buy it in a NY minute.

Now I wondering about reworking my TR4 to eliminate the roll ups and install side cutains, ala TR3.
