which book will you be buying to do this build?

Personally I'd still buy the haynes book if you decide to take the mx5 route. There's still alot of really information on how to do things that aren't donor specific and are more about the roadster rather than where some of your bits came from. Really you'd only be changing a small part of othe overall car by using an mx5 instead of a sierra donor in my opinion.

As Brainbug007 says definitely buy the Chris Gibbs book. "Build your own Sports Car on a Budget' ISBN 978 1 84425 391 3. I got mine from Amazon but you can also order from Haynes.co.uk or local bookshops. Supplement this with the MX5 specific stuff from Saturn and Vodou. Get a couple of highlighter pens and post-it notes, make notes and cross references in the margins.

If you want to see how it all started get the original Ron Champion book. "Build your own Sports car for as little as £ 250" (always a bit hopefull that pricepoint even at the time). Published by Haynes ISBN 1 85960 636 9. A while since it was printed but can still be found easilly 2nd hand.

I also bought a book called 'How to build a cheap sportscar' by Keith Tanner, an interesting read but i promptly sold it again as I just didnt find it as comprehensive as Chris Gibbs' book.

Thank you all, ordered the Chris Gibbs book and down loaded mx5 plans from Saturn. Got some land rover wheels and tyres to sell on eBay so when they go that money will be put to starting my project. Can't wait.
