Folks ... or is that Cat's ;-)

I didn't mean to start a thread of this nature at all. The car I have is not anything special, and in reality has already been hack up since it was in a front ender at some point it its life. I do care that I preserve the overall feel of the Tiger, what the Tiger is about, and that to me is a fun scary fast cool car that is not gawdy, no 19" wheels with 10" fender flairs, no not that stuff at all. Internal sheet metal removal and making the car better for me is what I'm interested in doing. Everyone has their own reason for what they do, I know plenty of folks might not like doing anything to the cars stock it their gospel, but that is their plan not mine. I like the art of the automobile, the engineering, etc, so to me that is the important part. Plenty of better candidate Tigers then mine rolling around that can be reworked or 'saved'. I just don't really see it as a big deal, but that's me. The injection (and firewall work) is really the only part
 that is out of wack a bit, the rest of the project will be a nice Tiger build out. 

BTW I do really enjoy seeing people work on cars that have been restored to original and know the pride they get when they talk about them, and I would never discount that in any way at that is often a much harder path.
