May need a little rust repair....

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....

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.
