Looks like a great effort on the powertrain and everything under the body. I'm not terribly crazy about the dashboard and interior however. Too utilitarian.

Thoughts?

Kinda like the front end treatment/bumperettes. Looks different. Grill is droopy, though.
Wonder how many digits the VIN is supposed to have...

Must belong to a really short guy, with those mini roll bars. Wonder if the firewall was cut solely to fit the F.I.

Quite a packaging job under the hood - I wouldn't want to change the plugs!

The lower firewall is pushed back in all Tigers / Algers.

Pretty clear from the 10th picture that the upper firewall was cut back to make room for the back of the upper intake plenum.

Other than the very low-hanging exhaust (ground clearance), the workmanship looks OK and 18,000 US$ seams pretty reasonable.

The car is in Canada and I would be concerned about getting a U.S. registration, especially without the original Alpine VIN tag (nowhere to be seen).

Same as any Tiger; definitely a "cold engine" job.

Geez, ya, for sure.

One of the nicest V8 conversions I’ve ever seen though. Way more than $18k put into that project and Ill bet it drives as nice as it looks.
