Dean's mx5 Haynes build
Dean m - 18/5/16 at 04:41 PM
Hi, complete novice in the kit car world here.
Little bit about me, I am an ex-RAF aircraft engineer now working as mechanical maintenance engineer in a factory.
I have been wanting to build a seven type car for years, drooling over them at shows and had a ride in a S2000 powered MK Indy around bruntingthorpe,
what an experience that was!!!
I've now took the plunge and started stripping the donor car and have a flat pack kit from Talon sat in the garage.
In preparation for the build, I went to night school last year on a welding course.
Earlier this year I bought a very very rusty 1.6 Eunos Roadster to use as the donor

Thank you for the replies and welcome messages.
I will make sure I put up plenty of pics as I progress, I do have lots more of stripping the eunos down but didn't want to bore you with a load
of pics of a slowly dismantled eunos!
I will certainly have plenty of questions and I may need a extra pair of hands or expert eye cast over my build as I go thanks Steve!

Your welcome to come out in mine anytime. My luego is slightly larger than a mk with a black top zetec and jenevy throttle bodies. I also have a
friend who strips mx5s if you need anything.

Thanks everyone,
Lovely car Ben, it looks really aggressive! The roll cage would be exactly how I want mine ( looks similar to the mk Indy cage)
Luego would love a ride and look at your car. Where snouts are you?
