Any chance of getting a high res of the close-up picture of the front? Definitely my favourite.

I'm going to finish my Triumph Spitfire 6 project. I've only had it a couple of months, but it's coming along nicely. I'm nearly done on the welding, then I'll strip down the chassis and re-rust proof it. Then I need to rebuild the 2.5PI Triumph inline 6 I have. Then a full respray, lots of go-fast bits and I'm away.

I can't wait to finish my Spit6 project so I can properly enjoy a light, RWD sports car.
Great article.
I only tend to like swaps if they're for the right reasons. A Chevy V8 into a V12 Jag annoys me in particular. It's nothing to do with performance, as the Jag V12 can be brought to silly-high horsepower. It's all to do with lazyness: 'it's easier/cheaper to maintain'.
Also, if an engine swap is detrimental to the character of a car, then I tend to be repulsed by them too. This means that almost all LS swaps are out. You just end up with a generic engine in a slightly different shaped body. Exactly the same as every other LS-swapped car: boring.
What about 914/6s? They had 911 engines...
@tenpennyjimmy @Jonathan Moore @speedhunters_dino I've been pondering that too. If my current mechanical trend continues I might give it a go on mine. Maybe swap a transaxle drivetrain from a rusted out 75.

@speedhunters_dino Excellent. Love the shots, especially the Giulietta Spider. I've seen a couple of these in real life and they're so pretty they've stopped me in my tracks each time. This is one of the few pictures I've seen that gets close to showing how pretty they are.
Halleluja, something that's not a Hakosuka Skyline.
I kid, but it's great to see some of the cars I like the most featured. Any chance of wallpaper sizes?
