Grabbed this from the OzClubbies forum (as in Lotus 7 style clubmans) as I feel some here would be interested.

I think we picked the mightyboy up maybe 2 years ago after I bought a built RF900 (RF1050) from a mate having a fire sale. Just imagine a red mightyboy with the motor in the boot and standard wheel barrow tyres.
Originally it was going to be a basic build keeping a lot of standard steel, since then its become a full spaceframe and silhouette body - mostly due to how basic mightyboys are and wanting to learn more about suspension design etc. The car will be for hillclimbs and sprints etc.
Current specs include NA MX5 f and r uprights, brakes, diff and drive shafts, double a-arm suspension all round, and lots of tube.
So this is its current state, currently building the front right corner which i can then jig for the left side, then we'll move on to the rear half of chassis.
Any questions/suggestions/criticisms fire away
Cheers,
Jeff
