I will be starting production of the wishbones in conjunction with some local companies soon as well as part built chassis kits and donor packages but I will be concentrating exclusively on the MX5 as it is what I know and love.

I recently acquired the most exciting bit for my build, a shiney new turbo! A little bit outside my comfort zone but the beauty of living in Cornwall is that there are plenty of retired enthusiasts with a lifetime of knowledge and time to help
I see, once I have my donor and commited myself as it were I will need to get some steel, can't decide if I want to go precut or cut the steel as I need it. Can't see myself making the wishbones though. Yep a turbo is on my my future list but may just have a play with a bit of NOS just for fun and the quarter mile. What other mechanical parts do you need other than the mazda donor? Do you still need to use an escort rack?
