Thanks Jason, it's a lot of fun getting the mx5 pedal box to fit, one of my favourite parts of the build so far. Cheap to do too!

Been busy since the day after Christmas, thought I'd share!

It's good to see you have been putting our build back together.

When are you going to start putting all the red bits on?

Need to do some more tinkering but I've tried the nose cone and managed to get the bonnet to clear the engine, just. Going to just tinker with it for a coupe of weeks, I'm moving offices at work which will require a lot of time over the next couple of months. I have to say it's a huge relief to actually use it and have it work even in a confined space. Nice to have it back in nearly one piece again!

Very direct acceleration, feels like the loud pedal is directly connected to the back wheels. Really fun!

Looking awesome, there was some serious grin factor going on in that video

Took some pictures today as the light was good...

Even managed to make a foot rest in the tunnel out of the old mx5 ashtray! Waste not want not!

How is the mx5 pedal box working out for you ? It looks a little tight. Nice job , you will have the bodykit all on and buttoned up by lunch tomorrow then ?
