Hello everyone,

Just gearing up for my build and am going to start with the chassis. I was wondering if there are any other builders in my area? My car has been re-proportioned to be more like an original Series 1, but enlarged a bit to fit my 6'2" frame and the comfort of any passengers that are brave enough lol. I have tried to post a picture of the basic car below:

Regards

James

Not in your area, but there will be people around close to you.

Welcome aboard and good luck - be sure to ask questions on here, there are usually a wealth of answers and information available.

Not build mine (the shame!) but am in Upton if you need a hand or two

Hi,
Welcome to you!

Good luck with the build.

I'm in MK at the moment but moving to roade soon.

Thanks guy for the input :-). I might well need a hand Quinten as well as the help of all you lot here. I have enlarged the series 2 drawings by 7% as the basis of my plans and have adjusted them also for the mx5 using the document produced by Saturn Sports Cars. I have taken a tip from the Caterham 160 and am using 14" steel wheels and 155/80R14 tyres to keep everything in proportion and to budget. That is the plan anyway, as I build and things evolve I might make a few changes. I am busy putting together a build table at the moment and sourcing steel.

Can anyone recommend the best steel supplier?

Thanks guys..

Not sure if they deliver to Northampton, but A1 Steel in Peterborough are excellent to deal with, I use them for all my steel. Phone number is 01733 268600.

Thanks Ian,

I will drop them a message. I have been busy painting the garage and trying to get all my tools together. I can't wait to get started now

Regards

James
