That car is truly amazing.
Not sure if its the same car, but hes got a mini sprint and remade all the panels inside with aluminium and painted them. So it all looks original.

My car had similar treatment from when it was on the track. Pedal box is full of holes, rear subframe, various other panels. Door pockets and winder channels were done as well, but that was rust, not a hole saw.....
