Another build thread

[skov]

Had a couple of hours to spare last night, so went out to the garage.
Managed to put two blobs of weld down before my little disposable cylinder ran out
Popped to my local welding supplier today and treated myself to one of these:



Shouldn't need to worry about running out of gas any time soon now!
Seems to produce far nicer welds too

Cheers Skov, i trawled the net everywhere to see if it was possible to get argon mix without a contract, then like i said ended up buying CO2.

But i think ill give my local supplier a phone about one of these

Cheers Will

Not much to report. Just been doing a few little bits and bobs while I wait for some parts to arrive (and for Saturn to release their MX5 plans!)



Whipped one of the seats out of my mx5 tonight to see if it would fit.
Sadly it looks like they're going to be a bit too wide
I was hoping I wouldn't have to splash out on new seats until after I got it on the road...

Your seat look no wider than my own, I was not planning on adjusting them to much, so a little wear and tear, so be it.

Just seen your build, not had the chance to wish you well, looks like you will be motivated to keep it moving

Thanks for the well wishing!
I tacked one side of the tranny tunnel in place yesterday and checked the seat again - it just sat on top of the rails, it's never going to fit between them!
To be fair, they weigh a ton anyway, so it's a good excuse to buy some nice light ones
