Phew, that was close ;-)

Works with the curves well. And breaks down the width.

You talking about the bloke or the Toyota iQ

Orange bonnet,orange roof would look good with the rest blue.

Take a closer look, it's not an IQ, it's a thirty-one thousand pound Aston Martin Cygnet. Bargain.

Amazing how a badge can double the price

Glad I put a Lancia badge on my Spyder then. ££££££££££££!

Apologies if I missed your cynicism but the Cygnet is based on the iQ

Whereas Lancia used to be very special indeed

So,has Chris left the country for holiday or has he locked himself in the headquarters till the swb's finished. :-)

When i say finished i mean ready for paint.

Apologies but no progress due to the need to catch up with kit orders delayed by SWB development..... No holiday yet,

Think the amz is tucked in and wrapped for winter. Bin a long summer:-). only thing is gives me time to think of new projects.

I'm really looking forward to seeing how this project progresses next year as I think it has the potential to be very special.

Have a great Christmas all!

Changes have bin made to suit the donor. Italian style gt tribute. As mentioned before i like the swb,gte and the a6g and the zagato variants of these, hence the name

Dowa dowa diddy. Didley dumb didley dumb. Dadumm,dadumm. Doowa diddy ta dowa diddy.

Their she was just walking down the street.

The expression "mad as a box of frogs" springs to mind!

Well gotta keep the dream alive otherwise I was wasting my time taking out £7500 loan over 3yrs for the build. At the mo got a project on making a floppy shed into a stronger stiffer summerhouse. Giving a stronger skeleton with 3x3 posts all the way round and thicker a frames. Ready for the 3 weeks of summer :-)

My sister bought a fence panel shed on the cheap and its starting to leak so i have the job of finding ways to make it stronger and air tight to be used as another sitting room away from the 6 cats and 3 dogs at my mothers place.

I think the main thing in the build in the mx5 based build is getting the rubbers from the hardtop transferred to the door frame so its water tight. Don't seem to be available at the moment

So both sides would be £120 then?

Dear readers . The 7.5k is a loan i took out to purchase a car and get it ready for the build and a set budget was set for set work. Having purchased the car and driven it for a short time it required work on the cooling system and gearbox so a loan was taken out to help get these fixed and funds for the build plus some extra to enhance handling and some rusty bits. Ps Chris your doing a great job. Theirs a light at the end of the tunnel :-)

Its a long,long road ,many a winding street. Any fave driving tunes. Say if your on your way to the coast.
