A very impressive build! I like the paint job and the matching wheels, but am not sure about the door stripe. Bet he surprises lots of folks on the road. But like your subject hinted, it's a restomod. You can tell how much planning and hard work went into it. My dearly departed 68 Mk3 gave me over a 100k miles and lots of fun with just a header, Stebro exhaust, and an Empi camber compensator. I prefer mostly stock with mild upgrades. But always glad to see any LBC (especially Triumphs) still on the road.
