Thanks for the info Froggy, Redrat, the tyres he had were 16 inch, not sure if they fit on 39mm rims though they may stretch? My wheels and tyres are 14 inch but with the beading measure 15 inch. They were still cheap for 5 thats scrap value! Re posted this as the link did not work its in the US but worth a look for the pictures.

Back on it today more sanding and filling, best results are with a block of wood and 120 grt (thanks Seanick). Also change of plan inspired by the aforemetioned who changes his mind as often as his pants, rear boot will be mini hinges, ordered from CBS, wanted austin ones but they were too expensive. Anyway pic of latest part made, goes behind the rear wheel connects the fiberglass body to the metal and stops vibration.

Tony, not sure what you mean, can you put some pics up when fitted mate? What did you make them from?

Made from this carpet bar, just cut and drilled, any flat bar will do, just I had this to hand and the ridges give more strength.

Not a great picture, but at least me back end don't wobble now!

Latest pic. after filling more still required! Oh and more sanding, as if I haven't done enough!

Looking good from the front.

Those wheels look great! Are you going to glass the rear arches in as well?

How do you mean glass the rear arches?

Apply a few layers of glass mat and resin between the new body and the old wheel arch to join and seal them all round.

Page 6 on my thread.

Im sure its in the build manual somewhere!!

Build manual? I was making it up as I went along!

That is something many people refer to as "humour"

Found it for you

Found one

found it for you guys , think Chris has been hiding it ....

Excellent work that man!! I will be spending my Sunday lay in time doing the real build manual..............

This made me chuckle, hours of "fun" filling and sanding.

Very good! Though I would say 'much less sanding than some other kit's

Just a bit of fun...you can have anything you want on it ....should have put hours of fun modifying the kit to suit your personal dreams

Have tried to post pictures but mobile/photobucket will not play ball, re-used the front wing stays, now attached to the middle of the plastic inner bumper, and splayed out and bolted to the front of the kit, helps prevent vibration. Worth keeping this item from the MX5. Now snowing so no more progress today.

Been de rusting today, not the car as its cold and raining but my schoolboy French on kitcar.bb.fr its like this forum but for Frechies! Glad my car is not a rusty as my French.

I can help with that if needed.

Martini, vous parlez Frances? Parce que je parlez seulment de Frances, et mon Frences ces t trais grave.
I have registered and posted, there seems to be a large kit car followwing in France, I am trying to convey to them what we are doing here in the uk, I'm not a fan of Google/Bable as its word for word and things get lost, I am registered as on here as tonyt and have posted a few pics.
