Well it seems ages since i last did an update, this is due to moving house and having no internet since Jan 14th, got it back last night. Have now fitted the floor and mounted the frame onto chassis, got the front corners on and most other bits are now ready to fit, will post photo's after todays efforts at fitting tank, finishing driveshafts and rear corners, and attaching fuel lines to underside.
Hopefully still on for first drive to stoneleigh show.

Keep up the good work mate. Looking forward to seeing the pictures of the brake and fuel lines in place. Are you still planning on using the std mx5 fuel lines?

Hi john, original fuel lines and plastic hangers are fitted to the inside bottom frame rail, drivers side opposite the ppf, also the electrics are going to run from front to rear via the ppf. This is the original route that the battery leads took on the mx5.

  Rear end is coming on well, hubs have been pressed off the driveshafts and relubed so fingers crossed if there is a future problem they should slip off far more easier now, they will be fitted next week when the full refurbish of the shafts has been finished |

Floor was time consuming but does look good, cut the floor pans out then pre covered them in vinyl fibre before fitting, i think it just takes the glare of the ally away without going over the top.  |

Front corners are getting close to completion, need to check everything is tight then start with the nut covers and edge trim prior to wheels and guards   |
