Thanks for all the positive comments

She's all new from the bottom up and as stated there's a few bits to finish, new diffs and out drives are here and just need building and installing and I need to find a set of new front driveshafts.

All that's left then is to decide whether to paint the body or not.............

Stunning.... & very rare! I love the look of the 97' with its high towers & MX4 wheels... arguably probably a better car than the MX-4 too?

and that is the dilemma!! I could buy a repro body to paint and keep the original clear...or just get one half painted and leave one half clear

Quick update....chassis posts weren't in the best condition and I wasn't happy with them so a friend who's a machinist made me some replacements, while he was at it I also got him to machine some battery posts too! much happier with how she looks now... thanks for the great work Kevin Fenrich (RSFruitbat)
