It's Ally not steel LoL
Yes, but be cautious, I think it came from Q486 GBF, which was a much modified T based Roadster and had a BMW engine
This is copied from Ben Caswells' Pitstop article on the car :
In the course of the rebuild Barry has constructed his own exhaust manifold to clear the steering column as well as new inlet manifolds
to take twin SU’s that replaced the temperamental original. Along with all the tunnel mods he has also lowered the wing line and built
three-inch deeper doors, similar to Gwynn Powell’s car. Another challenge was to overcome the fact that a previous owner had cut off
the windscreen frame. So Barry fabricated a replacement that allows the glass to be replaced without pulling half the car apart.
With the project nearing completion Barry then decided a hard top and rigid side windows would be nice. So, yes, he made those as well.
