My build - MX5 Donor
 
I hope you don't mind but I thought I'd start a thread so that anyone interested in my attempts could get a heads up on new posts on my build diary...

So if you are intersted activity during July has been updated - follow the link in my sig :)

Nice work there Matt,

I like the additional triangulation around U4 & U5 , also the way you have adapted the transmission tunnel for your gearbox. :cool:

Good luck with the rear suspension/diff cage area, it,ll be great to see it come together & on wheels .

cheers

Thanks Andy :)

For those interested there's a bit more development on the 3d and a few dimensions up now.

Not too much progress but some photos of where I am up to - it even has the motor sitting where it should be :)...

Some changes to the rear wishbones to better accomodate the shocks...

Nice work there Matt :cool:

The extra lengths of steel ( BR8 & 9 ) look ideal for supporting the engine, its all coming together nicely, :cool:

cheers
