What's your thoughts on bonnet bulges and vents. Id fit 16 wire wheels but theyd be gone by the the next day where i live. I'm tempted to go concept style to allow for my wheels. Which just means lights and chrome work but different wheels. Only thing is id prob tweek it later to my style. So gonna go with period tailights to go with the headlights. Just not sure bout door handles coz their seems to be two types. Barchetta on some and others with seperate and release button.

Oops 16inch wheels that is.

Doh! Barchetta style . Then some have a handle and a seperate button release that seem to be sunk into the door.

I like the bonnet vent shown above rather than the 3x bulges. Don't mind either door handle idea, just so long as we lose the MX5 handles.

Any idea where to get the side repeaters. Look from a motorbike. Short and skinny.

Not sure what the top car is, but it looks very similar to
the Jaguar XK 180. All you twin hump freaks take note!

Gigi concept car looks good as a contemporary version of the car . Any views on that?

eace: Any new pics Chris . Last time i saw it the front was looking great.

layball: Once upon a time . In a land far far away. Their lived .

Thanks for the updated pics. Kits looking great.

Good to see you on Thursday Joe.

Loads of good decisions made and lots more to think about.

I have a spare set of Aston Martin DB4 wire wheels.

They are 15" with the 42mm hub. I had some hub adaptors made for my Z3 by Orson (http://www.orson-equipment.co.uk/). It might be worth contacting Dave Woods at Orson to see if they have any ideas about their proofing them. They do loads of different hubs.

Oh this is going to be superb! im looking forward to seeing the finished plug.

I must also add that this looks great, especially without the roof! love the idea and concept, hope it comes off and sells.

Saw kit the other day looks awesome. Lights will be almost like the original with the lense. Grills taking shape nicely. Dropped stainless grill and other wheels . Contemplating wether to go period or concept lighting as found alternative headlights and tailights but till back end is fixed wont know if they will work together. Took a while but i think I've found the right combo.

This is looking fantastic, will it be offered as a kit when its finished?

Yes it will be offered as a kit, in one form or another.

This MX5 has a great stance, but the bodywork could do with improving...



...much better

ooh chris you buger. that looks farking fantasticmate.
I need to get back over and see some of this stuff you guys must never sleep. every cupple of days theres something new on here.

You are always welcome, bring some more eccles cakes. You never know what will get cut up next...

The top one looks like the car from that pixar film.

Just one issue - It has a roof!!!!!
then its perfect.
weather today 32 degrees, (yes its getting hot)and some nice country lanes
the only thing missing is the hair.

Wow... looking forward to seeing how close you can get with this one.

Tribute will have a roofless version out in no time im sure if the demand is high enough, he certainly did it with the mx250.
