So after a hiatus from the shed due to work commitments, i'm back. As of this morning i have 3 more members to cut and tack into place on the main part of the chassis. A mate who is a ticketed structural welder will be around in two weeks time to start the proper welding of the frame.
The rear diff carrier i haven't started yet as i would like to lift the frame and shift it forward. Oh well, good things come to those who wait. Also need to wait till the funds accumulate so i can buy the front whichbones and wishbone mounting brackets. It's the freight which is the killer getting the parts to Australia.
I removed the front seat from the MX5 and put it in for a test fit, and unfortunately it doesn't fit properly. Misses out by an inch and makes it too tight to mount properly and safely. I do have an ear out for a set of Recaro seats from a Mitsubishi RVR (EVO wagon type thing) which should fit nicely.
But here's the loon builder having a drive. Gotta love the vroom vroom moments as the frame takes shape properly.
