I reckon (hope) theres gonna be a bit more time spent on the MXico

....a few hours on Saturday. The shorter wheelbase/cabin area and lower windscreen height of the MX5 vs the Mk1 Escort means the side and rear windows have had to be reduced (a 2.5" roof chop) and the roof shorthen by 6.5":











May need a little rust repair....

Love the roof chop, it's going to be another winner I reckon.

Looking good....! Now the trick will be to keep the nose as short as possible...... Are there any bits of the MX5 that are not considered 'structural' that could be cut off to shorten the nose...?
Love seeing these projects come together....

It's lighter than steel...

Aireated Steel

After chatting to Chris on the phone last week I really want to see this finished!!!! Full speed Chris!

any news Chris

on the Mexico build? I am waiting for it....

me too.

Its not much further on - Chris's personal projects always take a back seat when he is busy.

Wow - nearly a year gone...any updates?

Thread resurrection - what happened to this...?

Too busy bringing other kits to the market

Such a shame. Would probably sell more than the Grantura shell. It's what the Mk1 always needed- a 150bhp motor and a 6speed g/box.

You rotters!
I excitedly came to this page thinking it was an update.

Memo to Chris & Dan- note the strength of interest- the money for this one is out there...
