It is isn't it. Nice to see thought and effort (as well as skill) being put into a chop rather than 3 inches being merrily hacked off and the pillars given the old persuading device!
What made you choose a Merc V8 for the Herald and what are you aiming at with the finished car (style and usage)?

Welcome aboard! Glad you made it.
I didn't realise you were Margate based. Love the chopped Minx! As an ex-5.0 Herald owner myself I can definitely confirm that you're in for some fun! ;D

What are you doing with the back end.... 300+ bhp & swing-axles could be... er... entertaining!
And as for the Minx.... That's just stupenously cool. I love the way the 'chop is in progress with most of the interior still intact. Heroic!
