Default Hodgsons Progress

well guys, we had good progress this week considering the amount of time we spent on them, Its been a week since we decided to build, we have spent dinners and break times all week marking the jigs, cutting steel and basicly trying to get our heads round the amendments for the mx5!!!

we had all saturday on them and got 1 chassis off the jig table and and ready to be welded, even the transmission tunnel and rear end is built and on the chassis,
Johno was well chuffed with his back end, which was mm perfect!!!, (i had to completely rebuild transmission tunnel after i built it out of 25x25SHS and not 19x19SHS as it CLEARLY STATES IN BOOK!!!)

chassis number 2 is already cut and half tacked up, supprising what you can do with 3 people in 10 hours,would of been 4people but luke was picking his donor car up, Which looks a good car for £350
also noticing these cars aren't designed for 6ft people who drink and eat to much are they!!! been plenty of ribbing going on that i may not fit and may have to build a wider one!!!
heres a link to a couple pictures get some more on here soon
regards simon, johno, luke, tony
