fair play to him. his blog says it's going to be a show car so i think you (Jakq)took his thread completely out of context.
did you know his plan was to hide the fueling cap in the boot? the idea was to have the car seamless. to make it a top show car. a bit like the american hotrods. i mean, who in their right mind would completely remove the engine cover and expose the engine to the eliments?
the fact that he's stuck at it is commendable. most people would have gotten bored and bought a rover.
