This is the progress I have made on my chassis in the days following my first chemo treatment. I could only work for a little while and then had to rest up, but with a lot of help from my Dad we have done really well.

nice work, dont worry build a locost takes time, mine is in construction from 2004, and to the end y need 1 more year, I work alone with no help.
cheers

Good work! I hope that the build is therapy unto itself. It was great for me.

Looking good Liam. Keep up with the thereapy and youl'l be a goodun in no time.

I don't know how to tell you this, your imaginary steering wheel ? Its on the wrong side ?

Also, is that a tree I can see loitering in the garage ?

And another also, there seems to be a piece of scrap under the bench...

I'm sure you can come up with an appropriate name for her when she's finished ?

Far be it from me to suggest how you do your chassis (since I bought mine) but don't you need a bit of cross-bracing and perimter tubing round the four lower uprights?

good start

I'd drape something over the engine (cotton cover as it won't catch fire) as it is about to get covered in nasty dirt from grinding, I also plug up any inlets etc.

Great thing to aim for and keep you busy.

Yep, looking good.

That 1.6 Mazda MX5/Miata engine and gearbox will work out perfectly

As Jon mentioned, you must of been in MS Paint and got your photo turned round or summat

And I for one think you could do with a bit more side impact protection.........


Steve

nice work! Keep at it when you can.

Keeping busy on something you like doing will help your spirits up.
Keep up the good work and get well soon!

yup left hand drive locost, the engine under the bench is a spare engine, that will be rebuilt, the goodun is in the whole mazda. the observant may notice there is actually 2 mazda miatas in garage

thanks for the support guys

Can't find them for less than about $3000 in Canada and you've got TWO! I know how much energy it takes to get out to the garage after a head injury, let alone after chemo. I'm sure you'll fly along!!
