Reminds me of when I had my TR6 painted. The guy brought the whole body down
to burnished steel. I came along and my eyes glazed over. For a moment I had
visions of just splashing Sheffield metal varnish over the whole car and
driving like that. Came to my senses in time. ;^)

Hmmmm. Kool car indeed.
I'm partial to Silver.

I like the blue oil cooler hoses. I like the looks of braided stainless,
but the blue is nice (considering the blue engine block).
Nice heat shield under the PI setup too.

I see the side exhaust - where's the 'glass?

It's def a nice car.
I'd really like to see pix of the roll-bar and interior.
Does anyone know who the car might belong to? I see that web page says Tom
Kreger. Anyone know Tom Kreger?
