Fun, but kinda sacrilegious and in your face. It was originally a less than $500 dollar car full of rust. For fun, they showed it at the Concourso Italiano and you will read on their site they thought all the 'numbers matching' crowd was rather funny. To be fair, they race in a very rough environment and get beat up quite a bit. That is why the radiator is up high, out of bumper range. The new nose is there because of the damage seem in the last post. They just grafted on a rare 'face' instead of fixing the old one.
From this, to this, to this;

By the amount of dirt up the wheels, it must have been hit by a few flash floods.
Sadly--rust never sleeps.

As the front suspension compressed, the oilpan hit the platform crossmember breaking both oilpans and pushing the oilcap into the hood. The rear faired no better as the platform crossmember put a significant dent in the fuel tank, the lift ramps damaged the rear lower quarters on both sides and the left rear quarter dropped to reveal a kink in the wheelwell over the left rear tire.

Actually, the car was being lowered so I could take some pics of the original toolkit to post on the BB. Although the failure could have occurred at any time, I still can't escape the thought that it is my fault. Don't know what, if any, additional damage was done until the car is inspected on a lift.
