I'm thinking of this Kougar Monza design.
Not sure how many were made though, its quite a rarity. |
As it happens, this particular car is for sale in the back of the latest edition of Classic & Sports Car. Priced at £60k I think.

Didn’t Someone buy a monza body and chassis recently on here ???
|
Yes they did and it has been passed on ...went to Europe I think ...
|
I like the wide look - but being a bit more performance orientated, I’d have to put the right size Wheels/tyres on - the sidewalls on those balloons will be rubbish in high speed corners.
Chassis number for the Scimitar registrar please? |

A bit more bodywork achieved on the ''Formorsa'' , re-aligned headrest and dash pod that messing about with the body had thrown out of whack ...also , the extra width has meant the boot aperture needed re-shaping too ... https://preview.ibb.co/dEG9XK/IMG_2983.jpg I've started getting pedals , m/cylinders and steering in place too https://preview.ibb.co/e5w1CK/IMG_2984.jpg |
I have been waiting for Geoffs rebuilt engine to arrive so I could proceed with his build , but its going to be another 2-3 weeks apparently ....so I made the decision to do a bit whilst I wait ...
I have widened the bonnet , I cut it in half placing both halves where they needed to be and pinched the nose in slightly as I wanted to keep the 'face' from looking too wide ...These two halves were then tagged together by glassing a couple of token areas on the outside to hold them together .... when cured , the bonnet was removed and flipped over and strapped to ensure minimal movement ..I then glassed the whole cut on the inside. .finally . .a liberal coating of hairy filler was applied to the outside to level it up and add strength ... https://preview.ibb.co/fnynDV/IMG-0285.jpg I had already fitted the Lotus radiator into a bolt on bracket and I added the framework for the flip front to this ...extra tube and bracing this time as its a larger panel than normal ... https://preview.ibb.co/gekCfA/IMG-0287.jpg https://preview.ibb.co/kBqCfA/IMG-0288.jpg |
Is that a real TD in the background?

Its a 1936 MG TA ...It belongs to Glan , the guy who helped me create the bodyshell ...It's in here so he can do a bit of work on it , re-assembly and paint ...it is a very pretty car with lots of new parts including re-built engine etc.... progress has been slow as Glan's health isn't great , but we plan to start prepping it for paint this coming week , if he's up to it ....the car is kind of for sale as well ...Glan would love to finish it and we hope to achieve that , but he's realistic enough to know that if someone wanted it as it is or unfinished ..he would sell her ..
|
The TA looks pretty nice!

Started fitting Electric power steering using an MG TF unit ...not too painful ...still need to get steering shaft sleeved and tig welded and introduce a pillow block to the lower half , now an extra u/j is involved ...but I could repeat this exercise for around £200 + steering parts and minus the wiring ...

Good idea putting the power steering on Gary, would it be be an easy job to retro fit onto mine its something I have been considering, driving is fine its just parking and maneuvering into my garage is hard work
|
not impossible Big G ...I will go back and look at your pictures to remind myself ...
|
Gary – Neat job on the bonnet widening. :cool:
I can certainly vouch for the fact that joins like this remain very solid when set. All the cuts I made in my car have lasted years / miles without any issues. Cheers, Paul. :) |
ForMORsa updates ...
https://i.ibb.co/XJqPzBF/IMG-1567.jpg https://i.ibb.co/0DZZyrF/IMG-1568.jpg Chassis pretty much all painted , axles , suspension etc has all been stripped out , re-bushed , painted etc... all new brakes , Wilwood front conversion , Gaz shocks all round ..I have just started running brake lines etc. and re-figured the steering a bit utilizing a pillow block bearing ... Engine being tweaked and should be here soon ... |
