That's what I was after!
Well done.

A rear view (personally I think it needs slightly wider rear wheels..):

I think it'll be a really nice looking car when properly restored.

Well, well. This car may be a repost, but I have the name of the builder and he gave another name to this car. So I don't want to merge it. Because it was known as something else.

Was it originally called the TRP Special?
It seems to have been built by a student, but I haven't found his name yet.
Were TRP his initials?
