Hi Phil,
I'll certainly need to practice my welding!! The designer favors a small turbo engine, but I love the sound (and look) of the Busso and a stock one makes enough power for me for the money. Engine choice is almost totally free, as you make the chassis to fit what you have, but a 166 donor made sense to me for a few reasons.
Will post the odd thing in the general nonsense area...
Cheers
Chris
An advance on the done-too-often 7alike. I look forward to hearing about your progress.
If I was to compromise on a non Stratos mid-engine bit of fun I think for me it would have to be a Dallara X1/9 project LHD build on a pre 84 shell. Turbo / Supercharged / V6 whatever. None of that IVA dross that adds a grand + to any build and the "homebuilt" kit car image that drags down the re-sale value to a fraction of what you have put into it.
That's a good bit of lateral thinking Andrew!
Just a quick update to this 'WANTED'
..no longer need an MX5 - got one. A 1997 Poverty-spec 1.6 Monza. Bottom half looks like it's been parked in the sea for a while but the bits I need are all OK and it has a pretty decent roof I hope to sell to recoup some of the purchase price.
