You figured out the picture thing then. Seems an interesting idea. Just keep your eyes peeled in case you see these guys snooping round your gaff though...

Glad to see your getting the hang of the forum, the car seems like an awesome project mid mounted K-series is an inspired idea. Please keep us updated with your progress!

Interesting thread.
Any chance you could resize the pictures a bit so that my monitor doesn't seize trying to display them? My scroll button broke trying to take all of it in.
As you were ; this looks like it could be a cracker.

Wow! I love it, your work is genius, really look forward to seeing this evolve. I would go for an original MM colour. My favourite colour combo and what I can see working well is a grey paint and dark red interior. I reckon birch grey and source some red leather MGF seats.

G'day What an insane idea, bloody brilliant an amazing car, well done. I wish I had the skills to have an idea and be able to make it. Colour I would go with an original Moggy colour from the fifties probably a darkish blue but I would only have the one colour as per the early Moggies. From what you have done so far I am sure that what ever you decide will be brilliant. Well done Cheers Graham

Very interesting build, and to a very high standard! As far as side vents, why not pay tribute to a mid/rear engined car of the same period, from the same country - the Rover Jet1?

Excellent skills and vision, so glad you kept on with trying to get photos posted now. This is fast becoming one of my favourite cars on here. I agree it'd look most cool in the original green Could even survive without bumpers

Massively impressed with this build, that fact you've done the majority of the work on the grass in your garden is heroic. Whats the access like to the engine through the hatch? Two person job but I did it on my own ( Plenty of pot noodles mate!) ;D edit: and to get an apology from xbollox! You must be blessed!

Wow, so much excellent work gone into this, hat's off to you!
Is the rear deck lid just for access, or for cooling as well? I think a cargo net for a pair of (historic) rallying helmets is al you'll fit behind the seat!
It's like something Morris' Skunkworks would have built, had it existed. I'd echo what the others have said about keeping it as standard looking as possible from the outside, so I'd go for a Morris shade as well.

To be fair, I might be around 300x more competent than you at using websites, but you are roughly 100,000,000x better than me at building really awesome cars. Great work!
It seems churlish to mention BIVAs, so I wont

Having been following the "How to post pictures" forum thread over the last few days, I had formed a mental image of how your TF / Moggy hybrid might look.
The real thing looks approximately 1,327.58 times better than the picture I had in my head. Looking forward to seeing the finished product.
