Great skills and awesome quality. Just a shame that the shape and proportions of the Cresta have been compromised so much. I would have liked to have seen it outwardly looking like a stock PA.

OOoooh! ;D
Something strangely satisfying about an old British car being combined with new, British-designed and built bits too.
Nice project.

1989 Peugeot 205. You know, the one that was parked in a ditch on the campsite at RRG'17... the glass is always full. but the ratio of air to water may vary. |

one thing that just occured to me. Doing this type of conversion (as in welding the body of and older car onto a more modern monocoque style body) is a bit frowned upon in the new sva tests and the like isn't it? or s the new jag still on a seperate chassis and I'm being daft?
*not wanting to start a 'he's doing something illegal' type of debate, just intrigued as it might be an idea to pursue in the future myself*

Strange thing is I found out today that the PA bodyshell used to belong to a friend. |
