why even start with parts if you have to build 99.99% of the rest of the car

They didn’t just start with parts. What’s important is that they started with a serial number or VIN. (not sure if this is new enough to have a standard VIN)

The ship of Theseus , also known as Theseus’ paradox , is a thought experiment that raises the question of whether an object that has had all of its components replaced remains fundamentally the same object . The paradox is most notably recorded by Plutarch in Life of Theseus from the late first century. Plutarch asked whether a ship that had been restored by replacing every single wooden part remained the same ship.

A. VIN as has been said.
B. When someone complains that they defaced a Jaguar, they can show them what was left of it beforehand.

I’m actually pleased about this. If it started as a clean, restorable E Type I’d hate it...but given what it started as, I don’t care how it ended up.

Well that makes sense though, because Google Maps seems to think ATM is short for Access To Money.

Does anyone know why the negative camber on the front wheels? I assume it does something for drifting purposes?
That car is absolutely beautiful. If I was going to change something I’d go with smaller wheels, but that’s a pretty minor quip. Well that, and the fact that my 6'1 body probably would never fit in there.

I agree with everyone else, it had to be the VIN tag they were after. Personally if I am going to completely change a classic car, then it should be from one that has no hope of being restored. No one would want to touch that to make it new, that would cost too much. I am happy they didn’t destroy a good one for their own project.

According to the article, a combination of “because they can” and “here, hold my beer”.
Great thing happen when people talk themselves into doing something stupid....

How did they start? very carefully. Also they have lots of time on just projects that person does apparently (I don’t want to know how long that procedure took to restore that thing)
HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles

Doesn’t matter why they chose this car, just happy they did. Resurrecting that ruined car into it’s current state is its own reward. Maybe the VIN makes it more reliable. Maybe the VIN (age) makes it easier to get tagged.
Whatever. Don’t care. The final product is gorgeous, and it looks like a blast. I’d have set it up for fast touring, but to each their own.
