Shitload of work, but a shitload of cool too! DO IT!
The rear end looks great, although for something that <u>isn't</u> a jag, the front end looks too much like a jag. I'm sure you could work some customising magic on that even though it's fibreglass....
extend the headlight buckets forward in line with the front of the car and fit FJ style ones for a not-thought-about-for-very-long idea...
Sorta like the e type jag everyone was too scared to customise (understandably) :twisted:

Very cool. I reckon you should grab it MJ. 8)
If I had it, I'd turn it into a road registerable historic circuit racing car...a hot early 179 with triple Webers would be terrific...
