Thanks for your replies
I did a quick calculation from the cutting list in the Ron champion book and I think the chassis was working out around 14kg heavier using 2.5mm SHS than with the 1.6mm SHS quoted. I haven't seen a linear meter total for the Haynes chassis box section but i wouldn't imagine is massively different so i can live with the extra weight for the cost saving
When you say stronger engine, do you reckon an Aston Martin V12 would fit??? There is loads for sale on ebay.
Nice thought but ill stick with the mx5 engine for now!
