I could arrange that if it makes you more comfortable.

I reamed the uprights today. Glad I have a lathe or this would have taken hours!

I also got some more welding done on my chassis before I ran out of gas.




Its not far off. Transmission tunnel and suspension brackets mainly.

Cheers

All the plugs bar one (on the steering column) are unique.

The uprights shouldn't needed reaming - I thought BMW 5 series ends had the correct taper for MX5 uprights?

Lots of progress though - puts me to shame (although I have a fairly good excuse to not weld my chassis up yet)

I need to get some mx5 bits in the next few weeks so am going to visit the breaker I use. I will try any get you one there. They normally bin the looms so probably will be free.

Build cost.... seems to be spending more on tools than car bits at the moment! (they will be handy in the future though).
Car iva'd and passed 15/08/2014. Finished weight 572kg.
