Does originality really count?
How much do you think originality matters?
I have a 2000 1.8 Club SE, that has never been modified or altered, even still has the original Phillips-Harmony cassette player. I intent to keep it that way. However those that are following the 'Saving Private Puddles' thread on here will know I have recently been given a 2004 Contemporary T by 2750 hp with a blown head gasket. Now I have found out that the head gasket has been done twice before, provided the head has been slimmed twice before I don't feel 100% comfortable skimming again and putting another head gasket in again. So my plan is (I think ) to fit a MG 6 N series engine. But I want to fit a set of MG grids, lower the suspension and get some kind of remap. I haven't ironed out the details I want to get everything together and running first. But do you think that 'modifying' a car detracts from it? I am 30 years old and far from a 'boy racer' I am a strong believer in less is more. Thanks Tom |
