IVA'd been on the road for 12 months, now about to be SORN'd and ripped apart to replace the 1800 Pinto with a 2L Duratec.

On the road but not complete. A aero screen mod or maybe a windscreen to make it a little more drive able.
So time next year to enjoy it would be nice.

Waiting for my friendly welder to fully weld my chassis ( I tack welded it) It will then be a mission to find all my MX5 bits, stored in,around and under the house ! with luck the motor should still be in the carport ? Can,t wait to start making progress. Cheers, Ken (from NZ).

In progress, but very slowly as house renovation is taking up most of the time. also waiting on parts suppliers to deliver. (exhaust bends mainly).

At the planning stage, chassis deposit paid to our friendly chassis builder par excellence, building up a parts list and on the hunt for a donor.

Hoping to start Q1 next year although baby dubzter no2 due at the end of March

Hey, most completed builds are never really finished, but it would have been nice to have a category for "on the road".

Mine has been dormant for nearly a year now, I was hoping to get back on it this summer but I brought a boxster s and been just driving that when I was off work and now that is in my workshop up on ramps with the engine out. But it does mean that I have a large car space to work on it when the porker is back on the road.

Car completed, and registered today

But as everyone knows, a build is never over, so mine can be considered "still in progress" as well. I don't want to do a lot of stuffs on the car, I mostly want to enjoy it, and stop spending crazy money on it, as I have other plans for 2015, especially going back to travel the world and dive.

But the car has been weighted 687 kg with a full fuel tank. it is a lot, that is the part I'm not happy with, and the work I'm going to do along the way is trying to reduce this weight. Brakes, battery, perhaps seats... we'll see
