New build
 
Hi everyone

I'm mark I've Been a oh sorry wrong forum

I've been hovering on here for a few years but last night I finally made the plunge and brought a nearly complete chassis from a chap on the roadsters forum :) I'll post some pics soon I'm in derby let's see if I can get it rolling in and out of the garage by summer (me pushing that is ) :eek:

Hello!

Always good to see another builder starting out on the road with good intentions. Even if they get slightly stretched....

looking forward to some nice pics :D

Hi there Mark and welcome good luck with your roadster build

Hi mark. Welcome to the forum. Which version are you building??? sierra or mx5?

p.s who did you buy the chassis off?

ayjay 24th January 2013 03:57 PM

From Derby its got to be RR based:D :D

Good to see you making a start.

It's a sierra set up with type 9 tunnel

Think I'll try and squeeze a nice merlin engine in there must be one down the museum they won't miss :eek:

Not sure what engine yet to be honest I like the idea of a bike engine but not sure long term it will be a good idea and the mrs wants to be able to drive it as well :rolleyes: so I'm think either 2.0 black top or 1.8 series both on bike carbs but there's a long way to go yet so who nos what may happen

And I brought it off jonathan goes by jmh on the roadster forum

He has the other chassis on eBay

There is an example and explanation on page 85 of the book if all you need is an idea.

Cheers
