The modern front end was fighting me.
The curves and angles just were not gelling with the rear.
I tried to reconcile it but in the end I felt like I was swimming against the current.
Another round of scrap yard sourcing and a pic of a concept car from 2000 led me to this revamp.
As its not a replica of anything, I don't have to stay too close to my inspiration.

The z300's rear reminds me of the light weight coupe and the hard top has also a similar shape. So if I can make an upto date version.
Not an E type replica but I wanted the silhouette to be similar
So with my 11 year old son with a pocket full of tec screws and the cordless driver in his hand we tacked together the new shape.
Its still only a rough shape but it works well and it compliments the rear end much better.
The wings need reprofiling to blend into the mg tf headlamps but over all im happy with it so far.
Hopefully another update next month.
