Roadster is on a distinguished road

ok where do i start
Collected the body on Saturday - it took me forever to get there and the weather was miserable.
But as i loaded the body the sun came out and i took the wife and son to the beach at Boscombe and watched the air festival off the Bournemouth coast.

This morning I was excited to get the body over the rear of the MX5
Grr it didnt fit the measurements seem about right but it refused to go anywhere near where it was supposed too.

This isn't surprising as it wasn't made to fit.
All along I was convinced that the G46 was the better bet but in the end i opted for a 550 rear. Its just too shallow.

So I am back to making something - it will still use the 550 rear but heavily modified
No pics this time as it is in its very early mock up stage - if all else fails I will have to buy the G46 rear but im sure I can work some magic.

And too think i was worried about cutting a boot lid into it hehehe
