My build is now a million miles away from the Roadster concept due to the huge number of changes required to accommodate the V12 and 2 turbos. The chassis is basically built, it now uses a Jag front instead of the custom twin wishbone arrangement. It's much stronger and with much better geometry than what I had originally built. I lost my Mum a month ago and have had no enthusiasm since. I hope to kick myself up the arse and get back on to it soon. For now my project is dormant.

Still plodding on although redundancy and custody battles taking up most of my time at the moment

I chose build in progress but probably more truthfully would be that I'm in denial and its actually more like a dormant build as it seems I'm making very little progress.
The dream is still there but family life is not playing fairly, although as always hope to crack on soon |

Build 1 started August 2010 1600cvh with type9 box got as far as fitting engine and box before being cut in half after 3 months due to taking up too much space. No progress due to total lack of funds gearbox,diff and shafts sold to help pay workshop rent, front and rear chassis sections in storage to use as templates for body work.
Build 2 started July 2012 2ltr Impreza engine, gearbox locked to make RWD chassis made 100mm wider, 40% of chassis material recovered to supply bits for a flatpack. Engine and gearbox weighed in for scrap 18 months later. Build 3 started Feb 2014 1600 mx5 TMXR prototype engine/gearbox/diff/floor fitted currently working on wiring loom,fuel and brake lines very slow progress. Hoping to get this one finished wearing my own GRP parts by Aug 2015...we will see how that goes
