restore as original or as a modified racer, what would be your choice ?

I am reluctant to trash this old warrior in view of the interest in historic racing, what would you do ?

here is another view of the inside

Looks like quite a project. What do you have at the moment for cars?

I would vote bring it back to original.

Thanks

If it'wer me, I'd build a streetable-racer (well, only if I had the $ to back it).

Thats a good idea in view of the cost to put it into original shape, if I make it a modified classic racer I will not have worry to much about the authenticity of parts which could work out much cheaper and give me much more flexibility to use alternative parts ie engines and axles etc .So first off with the chassis to get over hauled, right?

Got started on the bodywork, Wow what a headache , It was wasted by the chemical stripper ,looked like a lettice after a heavy catapiller attack all nibbled and holy. lots &lots of welding and hours of work to repair all those caged nuts that hold the fenders on; lucky I found another car in a barn up state which was less motor, trans and driveline but it was free to take so i got decent doors and fenders etc
