New build- donor advice please

[Meenrod]

Thanks both. I had a good look at the Saturn website Dave, thanks for the tip. I'm now considering whether starting with a pre fabricated chassic might be a better idea, given that I've never welded before. But then again, that's £850 of a pretty small budget!

Either way, I think I'm set on an MX-5 now. Seems like a good option- plentiful and cheap, plus pretty bullet proof mechanicals.
