Response to Rear end comparison - opinions please?

Personally I would go for somewhere in between. Keep the flying buttresses extending all the way to the back (trust me on this - it is one of the great design flaws on the original) and while the lights do need changing keep them partially inset instead of flush. Gives a great blend of new and old :D 78 X1/9 TNB racer 96 TVR Griffith 500 97 Ford Explorer (all round tank and tow car) http://www.the-lair.demon.co.uk/
