Default mx5 project for sale

mx5 project for sale, unfortunately have lost the workshop space and the willing volunteers due to a change of plans at the college where i work. The project was originally an extra curricular project working with disaffected students.

What's included is a part built handy andy chassis kit with all brackets for suspension etc. complete carefully stripped Mx5 donor including good 1.6 engine and box including id and photos to help with registration. Good strong build table and mounting blocks.

I have to clear the project so it it is available cheap if you can move it quickly £300 takes it away.

contact on 01670 827062 or message me here if interested.

Saturn MX5 Based Chassis, Limited Slip Diff & 2.4 Quick Rack.

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.

hi david should probs make previous message clearer £250 and you get everything the whole car, engine ,box, wiring, seats ,wheels tyre, hubs, axle and drive shafts and loads of useful bits. none of the wiring was cut and most was labelled.

I drove the car for a week before breaking so happy that it's in decent shape,there's even a decent hood that could be sold on.

paid £350 for the car. get in touch 01670 827062

I have agreed the sale of the mx5 donor, the chassis and build table are still available cheap as they must be cleared. I am based just north of Newcastle upon tyne.

What's your Postcode, and how much do you want for the chassis. I am only over in Carlisle.

Cheers

chassis for £60 some of the bits are still outstanding from handyandy but it's all paid for I'm sure he'll supply to whoever gets chassis. post code is NE24 4JP

be quick though I've been given to end of next week to clear the space.

main frame complete but not much more, tunnel etc yet to do as I said front frame came already done by handy Andy, Saturn were just starting development on their mx5 roadster so I paid handy andy for a chassis kit but he held back on the items that would be slightly different for the mx5 and we agreed that he would supply these when they were happy the saturn roadster was right, these items would need to be chased up with andy but I'm sure it wouldn't be a problem. brackets for suspension etc included.

call on 01670 827062 can't get in this weekend but any day next week fine.

So is the chassis ok for a sierra build with the correct parts?

Is next weekend any good or is that too late?

Cheers
