Id love some input on people past experience with mx5 installs and so on

Hi Mark,
Chassis wise the Sierra is quite a bit different in rear suspension framework, rear of transmission tunnel and minor steering mounting differences...
I've not looked at it but I guess a work around is more than possible.
My build was based on the Saturn plans which points out most of the major differences to the original Haynes book build.
Also wishbones are different for the two cars.
I think I still have a copy in PDF format if you wish to look at it?
