Default What is happening with my build

I have been a forum member for a little while and still have not started my build all that is about to change. For the last 4 months I have been trying to get the brother-in-law to get his rubbish out of my garage so I can get a build table in there but he is a lazy **** and did not take my threats seriously this has proved a mistake on his part. Anyway b4 I go off on a rant I will get back to what I was saying have been talking to the wife about the build and she is now coming around to the idea to the point that she has agreed to us buying parts and getting started only stipulation off her is she want to do the first and last weld on the chassis so ok if thats all it takes. She has even bought me a new welding helmet for my birthday this coming friday :-). Anyway it seems I am in the market for parts for what is going to be an mx5 donor build so prepare yourselves for a barrage of stupid questions that I will post from time to time thanks all see you on the roads

Always better to ask a stupid question than to make a stupid mistake

Good luck.

You've done the hardest bit! Convinced the wife! I just went on ebay and bought an mx-5 and made her tow me home in it!

Thanks all think her towing me home would just be too much to ask and would send her over the edge and besides she drives everywhere at 90 mph so may not be safe once I start the build anyone and everyone is welcome to come help out at any time will even get the wife to make the coffee
