Did anyone else go to the expo? what was it like? what did you see? pics?

I'm pretty close to getting the car painted now.

I'm working on the windshield frame. I think I will change it so the glass fits like a modern car, this gives it a flush fit. It will also let me permanently mount the frame to the car since it won't need to be disassembled to replace the glass.
I went. I was one of 2 diesels to show up and the only engine/trans swap or more modded home-built car that attended as part of the owner showcase. It was mostly leaf/insight/prius... and one tesla. It was a very cool show, but needed more creative home-built stuff. I hope to get a chance to see your car in person sometime! It is something I have wanted to build, it's just not been practical for me to do yet. an MG seems like the perfect eco-car project base. Here is my post about the show:
