Don't think that Phil,its near xmas and £1,000 is hard to find,looks good.
What about Sports 2000 style body might be easier to fab up,on Haynes chassis.

If at first you dont succeed,avoid skydiving...

No parachute require to freefall,only if you want to do it twice.

Sorry don't think I made myself very clear, I would be starting this project in february and looking for serious interest/deposits then. I know it would be asking too much this close to christmas for deposits but thought it might have gotten more than just 1 reply even just for peoples opinion on it.
I'm not sure that a sports 2000 body would be that practical on the road to be honest, on a track or hill climb for sure but speed bumps and curb stones?

Clear as Phil,maybe when you have a body to see there will be more interest,Sports body suitably raised would be something I would buy just to be different.

I suppose most people are building the haynes as they want a 7 style car. For those that do want an 'old' style then the replicar look quite interesting, especially as it is built around the MX5 backbone. -

Saw it down at Newark show. Looks good but u still have to climb in over the 'door' which looked a bit liable for bodywork damage in my mind

Any of you guys good with CAD/Sketchup ?

An Idea, 4 rear arches, use two to cover front wheels and of course fit them to the rear as well,make side panels to make a 90 deg angle and fit between the arches,Get the idea.

Somebody finish the dream.....

C/D is quite a lot larger , the 11 is still a small car in the 7 vein.
