I recently got my hands on an Bradley gt2, I have wanted one since I first got into vehicles, well 150+ vehicles later I finally ended up with one which has me excited. I took a good look into the car and realize it has front disc breaks, oilcooler and fan in engine bay behind the tire on driverside and has battery mounted behind passenger side rear tire. It also has full a/c system with vents on the dash. The interior is fully done up with a stereo and toggle switches all gauges and a short shifter. I also noticed it has brackets already mounted to prevent from "butt sag". I see these things are not common in most Bradleys! This unique Bradley also came with metal badges and licence plate frames. As well as build book, pics of dealerships lined with Bradley gts build pics of this bradley and other documents..
With all this said, would modding the body be a bad thing? I mean it is still a kit car, and the back end is soooo square... I love from the back of the door to the front of the car. But I plan to do some fiberglass mods from the doors back to make it look more like a beefy Ford gt40.
Opinions are always appreciated.

Is this a running & driving car?
If it is not then my advice is to rebuild it first...to prove that you can...and mod it later. This board is FILLED with people who started modifying something they were incapable of even building in the first place. I have seen many many people with grand ideas just fall to the wayside.
It will save you time and some hard earned money.

I understand the concern of it becoming an unfinished dream, but I was made to chase dreams plus It is near running condition but the motor is out and with the guy I bought the Bradley off of. Its an 1835cc and He wants $300 for it so im trying to sell the bumpers tail lights badges and build book to get the money for the motor. Just not many people looking for Bradley parts I guess =/
but the body mod has always been something I wanted to attempt, because one day I want to design and build my own car. So this is my FIRST fiberglass attempt ever and so far its looking great.. im not well off financially or equipment wise but my mind and soul are gold when it comes to workin with what I have, so I have faith ill see it to the end.
The motor money will come in due time.

Well as long as you are comfortable in knowing that the odds are you will not be able to accomplish what you want to do than I say "go for it!"
