Default just starting

hi to all,a short intoduction I am 70 year old semi retired and just started to build a haynes roadster based on the chris gibbs book, in this project i am being assisted by my older brother! Progress so far, we have bought a mx5 and stripped it down,bought the book and downloaded the saturn plans.
The next step is to construct the chassis. This is where the questions start, I would like to use as many of the mx5 components has possible but after reading various comments on the forum it appears the is a problem with the mx5 diff in a chassis built to the saturn plans,would it be possible to strengthen the chassis in the area of the diff wings. Another possible solution I have considerd would be to use the mx5 rear subframe and modify the chassis to suit as anyone done ever done this if not why not. Any comments or advise on the above would be very welcome
