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.
