Unfortunately it’s only plastic, I’ve done the river V8 thing with this in the past and the little 4 banger makes more power, weighs less, is cheaper on parts and doesn’t throw a fit if you Rev the tits off it!
It looks awesome and sounds like a tonne of fun.
I'd hope with the cycle wings issue that most MOT testers would understand and turn a bit of a blind eye. It looks so much better as a speedster without them.
Sounds great fun and an interesting way of doing something that is usually way more traditional with a SBF or Rover V8.
Is it a fibreglass body or a original steel body?
