Finally Started

[chrisponter]

Thought it was about time I introduced myself to everyone. I've been reading the forum for a good few months now so most of you have helped me already without even knowing it, don't think I've ever seen such a user friendly forum.

I live in Romford, but the car is being built near Bournemouth.

Today I finally got my chassis. I went down the MX-5 route, it's based on the Vodou design, but isn't exactly to the design spec and isnt fully finished yet so there a few missing bits. Still needs all the suspension brackets doing, along with some bits for the radiator and engine area.

This whole thing will be a bit of a learning curve, as far as I know no one on the forum has done one of these yet? So it'll be extra fun trying to figure out how it all is supposed to go together :D

Below is a crappy mobile picture of my donor car, now in bits which is a shame as it was a nice car, then my chassis being picked up. (Thats not me in the photo)

Glad to have finally started, look forward to my next update :D

looks good chris,
It does seem a waste hacking a mx5 to bits, but it's definately the way forward. Until the price of donors picks up as it will
