Which MX5 donor?

If you go down the mx5 route stay mx5 as the engines as mentioned are very good and there are plenty of tuning options available. The wiring loom from the donor needs to be used so if you were to change the engine you would need to retire the whole car.

If you were to go zetec it would be easier to go sierra donor route and follow the book spec chassis.

I've gone down the mx5 route. Mk2 may be a way to go with the steering as you will be able to get more lock on the steering due to the arms being higher.

There are lots of cheap parts available and lots of donors.
