This guy built a brand new 1960's E Type (my favourite car of all time) entirely from old new parts, including a V12 motor and leather interior. There was only a couple of things he had to source 2nd hand, like a windscreen.

A great way to make a new old car !
I wonder what it would cost to a new Falcon XT out of parts from the dealer, 100k ? |

Thats awesome. NOS being genuinely new old stock or are they still making the parts?
BMW did a similar thing with a 70's 2002tii. 90 percent (over 4000) of the parts they used were new from the dealer. I think they did it to show that they dont forget about their old cars and that they still make parts from them. Which is true.... i can go into a dealer and get a brand new dash albeit a little pricey but its there if i want it. http://www.mwerks.com/artman/publish...cle_1010.shtml

With MGB's you can buy a brand new bodyshell, and put just about everything new in it including a Rover V8 engine and interior with seats. You just need a donor car for the odd hardware and assorted bits. In the UK there are businesses manufacturing the new parts and competing against eachother which makes the prices very reasonable. Also you can upgrade the suspension to fully IRS, front telescopics and even power steering and brakes.
