Chemotherapy Chassis

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.

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?

not sure since location is listed as "Location Milford Haven/Oklahoma" presumably the Oklahoma that is in US.

Anyway, good stuff lthough the engine does seem to be a little bit low!

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

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!!
