well interestingly id sold my rolling chassis for 500 bar , then err , the usual started and the bloke pulled out giving me a deposit .

so ive now got a rolling chassis minus engine /gearbox.

i re list it , bloke wants to pay me 300 - hmm not sure if i want to accept 300 , well i didnt anyway so im £50 out of pocket .

i need to rediscover the joys of locosting.....

anyway , ive always wanted to build a middy , and i got to thinking if im brave enough , ill just cut the bloody front end off , reweld it further down ie at the front of the tub , weld the t5 x member in at the back , hey presto turbo 5 middy .

hmm what about bodywork , well that sylva leader bodywork would actually turn into a nicely made out GRP monocoque ........

but then reality sets in , im off to buy a bloody MX5...............

Sounds like you need a lie down in a darkened room for a while

what is it with everyone wanting mx5's all of a sudden?

if you have space cant you just keep the rolling chassis until you can sell it for £500 on here, not exactly going to plumet in value over night...
