I like that a lot!

Maybe we do like it, maybe we don't, but I think we will all admire the thought and work that is going into it. I do like the exhaust manifold. It's because it's different not run of the mill that I personally like it. Keep going.

Pity you're not supercharging it too!

Love it, very nice work so far. Can't wait to see it with the Martini livery.

I like the timeline in build history with interludes to visit car shows and get married

Yep - like it - please keep posting on here.

Awesome awesome awesome!!

You're very welcome here so please keep us updated. Looks like a fantastic build. I like the way you're replicating the original's drivetrain layout as best you can with the bits you're using - class. As a 4WD geek/perv I'm wondering what you're using as the transfer case/centre diff and would also love more filthy photos of the diffs/propshaft runs etc etc . Looks like you've had to mount the engine relatively high up to get out the way of that central rear prop, although hard to see from the photos. Not that that should really matter too much.

Anyway - good stuff

Ninehigh - 4/1/11 at 10:55 PM

Like it very much

I'd love to get a workshop together and get a production run of all manner of classics like this, e-type jag, others of a similar ilk that you don't see these days
