Default Hello chaps...

...and chapesses

Thought I'd join up and say hi whilst waiting for my bits to arrive and to get the ball rolling by getting a HandyAndy/Saturn flatpack chassis (if he's doing them ATM...can anyone advise please?).

Anyway I do have a couple of general questions whilst deciding what spec Roadster I'm going to go for...
  1. Whilst I'm not a very tall bloke I do have size 13 feet. Would I struggle to drive a MT75 based chassis?
  2. ATM, I'm planning on a mostly Sierra type build (basically everything mechanical except the engine and possibly the gearbox). Could I encounter problems if I wanted to mate a MX5 engine and box to a Sierra diff? As I understand it, the rear of the trans tunnel needs to be flared out if an MX5 diff is fitted; could this make things a little too cosy in the cockpit? (Although I suspect that's a question I should direct to Saturn).

Sorry for the questions, I suppose I'd better start thinking about a build table
