Default Finally started, kind of

Well after years of watching, wishing and waiting I feel I am now underway. Got a donor. 1991 MX5 1.6. As you can see there is very little left but all that I need, I hope, and I think a bargain at £200 delivered to my drive it have 4 space saver wheels on now and I drove it onto my drive and must say the engine seems very sweet and tight.
Will be stripping it in a couple of weeks. I am planning to order a flatpck chassis in a week or so once I can get the payment below the wife's radar. Build table will then be built, welder will be fired up, beers will be cooled down.
