Hello, I'm new and want to build a tribute kit

Oright... I don't know why it's upside down! It's far too long, a bit twisted and looks like it's got two punctures on odd sized shopping trolly castors! What can I say I'm a bit rusty..

Here's an MX5 Speedster, looks quite different.

The great thing with this forum is all the cars are different , the more people the more ideas. It works very well. Welcome and look forward to seeing where you go!

Thanks Scottie
Looking forward to seeing yours finnished . Have just resprayed the front end of mine.The sun brought out a few lumps.So before you paint be sure to go over your gel with a hot air gun to see if there is any air trapped in the gel. I did but don't think i got the fibre glass hot enough.luckily I am a DIY painter and had just enough paint left. The plate is from DVLA auctions, worth looking at.

Peepsy - those front arches transform the car and help to integrate the bottom of the door line. It's a great looking car.

Thanks for the tip peeps, I don't think I had considered that, but will do it before I paint.
