Default Thought id come back with maybe abit more moaning :)

Havent been on here for a while, but thought id show you all what im 'pikey' racing on sunday.
Im pretty sure alot of you are gonna think its sacralige (sp?) and jsut down right wrong, but before you say its a waste etc ill briefly explain what works gone into it, doors,bonnet and boot have all been made by me and a few mates, engine had lots missing which ive had to source, the wire wheel hubs have had to be machined down to take normal studded wheels, rear brakes removed as wheels rubbed calipers, roof welded back on, there was no interior when we got it. Alot of work and i mean alot of work has gone into it too get it just to 'raceable' condition, it really wasnt financially viable in our opinion to get it road worthy again.
I present my pride and joy, a 1957 Jaguar xk150, 3.8, twin carb manual lump.
