How strange

Post pictures and stories about your cars both present and past. Also post up "blogs" on your restoration projects - the more pictures the better! Note: blog-type threads often get few replies, but are often read by many members, and provide interest and motivation to other enthusiasts so don't be disappointed if you don't get many replies.

If you are keeping the ford keys (and steering column / sensor ring for the chip) then you won't have an issue. Regardless that is the most interesting thing I have seen done to a mog ever. The only other mid engined one I have seen was done with a tubular steel frame inside a mog shell and the rear subframe, engine, gearbox, etc from an MGF.
Understeer: when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
Oversteer: when you hit the wall with the back of the car.
Horsepower: how fast you hit the wall.
Torque: how far you take the wall with you.

My very slow rebuild of my P6 pales in comparison to your projects. Looking forward to the final threads. :D
