Dave_M Posted May 7, 2020 Posted May 7, 2020 Hi just signed up to this forum, been looking around for a while, but thought it was time to join. I am in the process of building an MX5 SDV kit, using a 97 UK 1.8 as the donor. Not going to lie, I've had the kit a while, but due to work and family commitments, progress has been slow ;-( (well glacial) But now my kids are a bit older and willing to help out plus current lockdown situation, I have made good progress over the past few weeks. Anyway thought I would say Hi, before bugging you nice people for advice as I go through the build, Cheers Dave 6 Quote
IainCameron Posted May 7, 2020 Posted May 7, 2020 Hi Dave, and welcome from sunny Shropshire. I'd suggest starting a Build Thread.... I'm also new to this car building lark, and I have an old kit, but the help and guidance from The WSCC Elders has been invaluable! 1 Quote

Rob Hunter - Club Secretary Posted May 7, 2020 Posted May 7, 2020 Welcome from South Derbyshire, look forward to seeing the photos! 👍 Quote
Westfield Chesil Limited Posted May 7, 2020 Posted May 7, 2020 Welcome and good luck with build. Quote
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) Posted May 7, 2020 Posted May 7, 2020 Welcome Dave, glad you’ve managed to get stuck in to the build; as you may have gathered, we love pictures! And a whole build thread would be fabulous!! 👍 Quote
Chris Broster Posted May 7, 2020 Posted May 7, 2020 Welcome aboard the good ship WSCC! Excuse some of the crew, they are a bit crusty, but they know their stuff! If in doubt shout out for help, and get in touch with your local Area Organiser who may be able to find a few local souls to advise/help/loan tools as you progress. Of course we also want to see loads of photos of every bit going on, coming off, going on, etc Enjoy the journey! Quote

Dave_M Posted May 7, 2020 Author Posted May 7, 2020 Thanks everyone for the warm welcome!!! I will get some photos online as soon as I can, and starting a build thread is a very good idea(stayed away from this as my progress has been glacial so far :-( ) In spite of the slow progress I have taken lots of photos, and just need to organise them, so a build thread will be a suitable medium. And nothing wrong with a bit of patina, my donor parts have been covered in the stuff Cheers 1 Quote
Gary Taylor Posted May 7, 2020 Posted May 7, 2020 Welcome from sunny Scotland from a fellow Mazda sdv’er. As said above start a build thread and add plenty of pictures and don’t be afraid to ask any questions. looking forward to seeing your build Quote
