It has to be a re-shell using an earlier bodyshell doesn't it?
It looks very nicely done. Expensive though.

One of the last GTs in a good colour, with your skills Nick would make a cracking car when finished. Looks to have a set of early MG metro seats in.
Bit more room in the engine bay if you wanted some ‘tuning’ options.

Nice easy (?) mini project for a relatively new beginner I'd say. Apart from the scuttle panel and what you'll find underneath that.....!
