MX 5 and frame

So this is roughly what the car looks like. A bit of imagination needed as its faded and a little tired. Surprisingly every panel is straight and there is no rust


The chassis for the build will be looking a bit like this, and i stole this from the Haynes Roadster forums. Noting it came from a guy there, if you read this, and like to know more, i can send you in the right direction


They have redesigned the frame to take all MX 5 components as opposed to Ford Sierra parts. The frame is practicly the same although modified so the steering geometry, and the rear suspension and diff mounts work well with the new components.I have asked the guys on the forum when the plans will be available for download, but seeing as tehy are in England, it will take a day to get back to me. Also, i have been in contact with Saturn Sportscars again to enquire about their modified plans for the Haynes Roadster.
