Oh my God nooooooooooo!!! What's gone wrong with these people? This is the second car you tell us the owner wants to convert. This is really very sad.
Firstly if this car is very original as you say it has tremendous value unrestored. Increasingly the cars preserved are considered more valuable than cars that have been restored albeit authentically.
Secondly even if the gentleman who owns the car wants to make himself a Le Man replica could someone atleast suggest the original body is stored while a new one fabricated and used? That way atleast irreparable damage would not be done.
Awini check out a Le Man replica on the U Tube link given in earlier post. The conversion is very impressive, and the overall result is mind blowing.
