Well there you go. Never seen that before! Actually something similar happened 20 years ago with my old Talbot Alpine but I can't even remember what, something to do with the dished washer, I digress...







A nice picture earlier today of my dog with the car in the background.



Thanks for the reply John and the offer, nice to know those upper wishbones are available if I find the car is crabbing when it's finished. :-)

How much would they be out of curiosity?

That's very generous John. Hopefully I won't need them fingers crossed.

So here we have it out of the garage. Mate came round to help move the mx5 shell out the way. So we got out and took lots of pictures.







Tomorrow is great weather here so I'm laying turf and a pathway.

Sunday I'm going to start on the floor I think. :-))

Build cost.... seems to be spending more on tools than car bits at the moment! (they will be handy in the future though).
Car iva'd and passed 15/08/2014. Finished weight 572kg.

I'm lowering the floor on my build, like the westfield mx-5 donor kit car, and have decided to use the side of the lowered floor to run the fuel and brake pipes, I know it they will be close to the road in this position but it makes life easier. I won't be using the car for speed bump surfing. Progress pics so far...

More progress on the floor this weekend.



Mx-5 seating position is good but it will have to go in as two separate halves with the back attached directly to the tub back.



Need to make some runners for the base to hold it at this angle.



From above
