Chris's new build of an MX5 based car

[CTWV50]

Ever wondered what to do with knackered caliper pistons and an office chair?



LOL!!!





I think I'm enjoying myself too much with this reuse, reduce, recycle thing.

Horns and indicators mounted...










Oh the indicators are from my dad's old mobility scooter! I just can't help myself. lol

Chris your'e a bad bad man...lol
Hope the scooter was SORNed..lol
Which vehicle are you using as the donor vehicle...
Seriously good work there buddy looking forward to your next recycling project... I bet you got "The Good Life on DVD"...

Epic build (my son taught me that) Chris

Keep up the good work,

Johno

CHeers for commenting Johno. My dad doesn't indicate much, bit of a mobility scooter rebel!

See this....



Well I turned it into this....

[CTWV50]

Got my clocks in position...



And the cowl...

Finally put the last bits of the chassis on for the tank...





The back end will be removable by undoing 6 bolts, I wanted easy access to the rear for when I need to make setup changes or replace by diff mounts!!

Oh I've refurbed the brakes but no pictures. Forgot and they are tucked away now. Managed to get a big red refurb kit for the front brakes and new chromed pistons for £30 each. backs where £15 each no pistons needed. £90 all in, not bad.
