That's mental! Like a Baur E30 cab only better!
Boxed arches must have been an interesting job - are they fibreglass front wings?

Car looks good but as Neil says Sympathetic restoration on balance will look the best, please don't try and overdo it.

I've been restoring it on and off for about 5 years trying to for it in between all my other projects ! But needed a lot more work than I first realised ! It won't be over done no don't worry I want it too look jus how it did , apart from I have a black leather interior for it I think out of a cosworth !
It is currently a bare rolling shell having a bit of welding done and been prepped for paint hopefully should be primed in the next month and painted soon after .
