Default Another new project

After writting off my Haynes Roadster in 2018 I haven't had a self build car of any sort. I have helped build a Tiger Avon with ST170 engine on TB's doing 225bhp, am helping with some restoration on a Ginetta G4 and am helping with a Haynes Roadster with 1.8 MX5 engine as well.
So having previously (many years ago) had a Ginneta G2 (still about and was the very first Ginetta marketed by Ginetta - 329 EMA), built a Ginetta G15 with 998 Imp engine (1971). Also built a Ford Opus HRF what did I choose?
It's the very unlikely winner - a Dutton Leggara with 1.6 MX5 engine! Very much a project car with lots to do on it so maybe in a year or so it will be on the road!

Sadly it is going very slowly. Lots of things have taken my time away from the project. Most things have been sourced, wiring loom is in but dashboard isn't. Waterworks were all sorted along with cam belt and timing wheel but then had to come apart so I could fabricate the manifold and exhaust system. Brakes and clutch all done. Fuel system is in the process of swapping to offside of car. New tyrse sorted. Westfield seats sourced. Seatbelts and mounts started. Every time I go to the car the list gets bigger, Realistically its next year for the road I think.
