Hi folks, now that the garage is all but finished I got myself a herald chassis with a V5 to tinker with. Shortly after getting it home I realised how much it had been messed with, someone was going to put a rail type frame onto it. So I've stripped it and started to repair it to get it back into the non-modified state that it'll need to be to pass the points scheme.
Boring first post sadly and my budget is all but non existent so it'll be slow going.
As long as its moving forward I'll be happy.
The plan is mk1 mx5 1.8 engine and box (preferably from a whole car so I can steal lots of useful bits) due to budget and limitations of the herald diff/ rear suspension. Then either trad hot rod using an old body (think morris 8 style) or to scratch build some sort of van like morris J type.
I'm not naive enough to think that plans won't change but we'll see.
