They start with a MGB and fully restore the body using new metal panels made from the original MG specs. Each panel gap is massaged until it has perfect gap spacing. After that they upgrade every component on the car with modern parts. Brakes, suspension, drivetrain, electronics, and interior pieces are either custom made or sourced from top manufacturers. There are three models offered and all are powered by Mazda inline-four engines.<\/p>\n<p><a
