The mould is now complete, many thanks to Alan and Freddie for working over the festive period. The picture shows the side in gel and the up stand flanges for splitting to release, also the bonnet lines are also flanged up. First one out of the mould will be 5 days into 2013.  |

Looks great Stuart,
out of interest, are spacers needed for the wheels?

It is the same track width as the original and I am pleased to say that it is the same (well very very close) to the MX5, so with the bolt-on chrome wire wheels the track width is correct without spacing. As you can see, the picture shows a trim flange on the inside of the wheel arch.

Man, that is going to be a head turner. And your pace is amazing.

I've circled the date on my calendar. I'll sign on to mevowners the evening of the 4th, and set my alarm for early the next morning, so I can be the first guy on the Pacific coast to see a photo (you're eight hours ahead of me).

OK so it's the 5th here in Brisbane, Australia. I know we are 10 hrs ahead but it is 8pm here, so I was just wondering, any pics yet?  Lee |

sorry about the lack of updates. The body is now being polished. Next photo's will be released when it is complete. That is going to be about 6 weeks. Keep checking back or visit Stoneleigh on the 5th/6th May for the launch. Those wishing to place an order before that time are welcome to visit and see progress but only if you phone first please.

Hear is a pic of the rear mould. As you can see there are bolt holes to fit the sides in place and a ridge for the fuel flap and boot cut out shape. You can also see the recess's for the lights and reflectors and 2 recesses behind the number plate for concealed body mounting bolts.  |
