Hey All!

Thanks for the warm welcome!

Been on 3 trips to the scrappy today weighing in a Cat C 106 and a Lexus 430GS ( engine transplant in a Supra 3.0l straight 6 to 4litre V8) so I can concour that steel prices are good!

Should be collecting the MX5 next Mon or Tue. Its a 1.6 fairly tidy but has seen its days as a MAZDA..... lol

After build and rebuilding various Mini's, 306 Dturbo's, Volvo T5R's i'm familar with pain dont worry! just a nice little project out of the profits out of the last few Cat C/D rebuilds.

Didnt realise there were so many like minded mad men in the cheshire/ wrexham area! I'm going to be doing the build at work in Wrenbury (Nr Nantwich) well it would be rude not to use their power!
