The rear lower outer hub bolts are sometimes siezed mine too a load of heat and a 20 ton press to shift them

Good luck with the build.
They are pretty simple to strip hardest part being the wiring make sure and label it all.

Hi and welcome, just get stuck in! Building the chassis in the best bit i think because it starts to look like something in no time, i used one of these to clean up the ends of my box section once i had cut with an angle grinder, just keeps the ends nice and the correct angle

Thank you everyone,
There is a press at work that I will be able to use if it's up to the job!
I will definitely be asking lots of questions as this is my first go at building a car.

I will be using the Haynes roadsters book and I also have downloaded a pdf file of the old Saturn plans of the mx5 chassis, is this the best way to go?

Saturn plans are a bit vague in places but they do the job
I printed off the last page and marked them off as i cut them makes it a bit easier.
Also some of the measurements for the diagonals are a bit off cant remember off the top of my head but just check before you cut them.
