as promised, sorry they were taken on the mobile i cant find my charger for the camera. A lot of finishing to do but its nearly there, just trying to find the time to spend on it at the moment, sort of giving myself an hour each night. Its at the point where each hour is actually progress rather than put a part on take ten parts off.

Rollcage is a cool touch, not by anymeans msa spec but its just for a bit of added stiffness/protection. Got to give the hodgson boys credit for that. The bend on the 4 bends on the front hoop are mm perfect

I may need your ali welding services again kev, i really wanted to put the filler cap on the rear tub but filling it with fuel is a real pain. Do you reckon you could weld a new kneck onto the side for me mate?

I love the work but im hating the business side of things, but thats gonna change real soon...

Looks great Nate, inspiring, thanks for the scuttle and aeroscreen they arrived safe late last week many thanks. It was very generous of you and will really help me move forward.

It's tough running your own business, if your not skint, you're overworked, NEVER a happy medium.

Keep up the good work.

Cheers

Chris

PS. will you be offering the roll cage as a kit?

PPS. I'd rather be self employed any day though than be working for the MAN!

Hi Nathan,
Car looks fantastic That roll cage looks familiar...lol.
Sorry I haven't commented before only been spending a few minutes when I can on the forum cus works been hectic and somehow missed it...
What does she handle like? and how did you sort the diff out in the end (solid mount or polybush or something else).
Also could you post a piccy of your front top wishbone from above to see how it looks plz..
I know it's a big blow to the Roadster community and an even bigger blow to the MX5 builders you leaving (got nothing to follow now ) but if your health and family life has suffered it's for the best m8.
Is it OK to contact you on certain things or do you just want a clean break from it all.?
Would be handy to know what shocks and springs to order from Protech now (I guess it's here somewhere on the forum) etc....

Well I might be able to help out some MX5 builders with wishbones probably as I made the jigs for ourselves and they have been put away in storage (just in case we break our cars).
Don't be a stranger and the best of luck to the future whatever you do...


Johno
