Cheers Leroy,

I've got a skivvy here now doing all the non-thinking graft (could job he doesn't use the computer). There's an awful lot to do Leroy but it can be very satisfying to, got a car to get ready for IVA next Thursday so that should make it all worthwhile to. Plus another exciting project i cant wait to get started.

Thanks....Andrew

Thanks Les, we got the final signing off yesterday so just waiting for the phonecall now, we both have the right attitude and although we don't know exactly what to expect i'm sure we will find it most rewarding to. My philosophy for the last 10 years once i got out of the rat race was "you dont know if you dont try" and "you work to live not live to work" - probably why i'm doing this and Saturn to.

Cheers Les......Andrew

Hi Andrew,

Got a quick question, I understand the front uprights do not need reaming and we aren't using maxi ball joints but what are we using for the front hub upper ball joint?

Cheers

Chris

Sorry Chris i missed this one, the transit drag link fits in the taper of the mx5 upright just fine.

Hi Andrew,

In the build guide it states utilising a Mk1 MX5 as a donor.
Is the Mk2 MX5 also suitable or are there any reasons/differences why it shouldn't be used?
