Hammy, that does look sharp. Would be interesting to have a passenger ride when you are on the road.

Re my MX5, got to a decision point about whether to press on or call it a day (front of inner rear arch worse than thought). For now decided to step away and press on with the Tiger.

Tbh mate I dont blame you. They rust from the inside outwards. Keep it though and nip over and have a look at the GType. After building a Tiger you'll find this a piece of cake.

However if you decide to scrap it give me a shout mate.

Are you still in Fleet? Im down the road in Farnham

Been making up the tunnel and bulkhead panels as well as a wiring tray for ECU and loom.Image

Templating around the trans tunnel so out came the card....Image
Carlsberg dont do bulkheads but if they did...... :-)Image

And then all loose fitted and a great fit with just a small amount of fettling left to do. Ive done the centre panel as a seperate piece as I want to keep it and the trans tunnel removable for any future mods or work on engine, clutch or gearbox.
Image

Lastly this is the tray Ive been making for wiring etc...

Cheers all! :-)
