Title: Newbie from Bristol... and Reading!
Post by: Badger on 29, August, 2013, 09:22:17 PM
 Hi guys, as you can see from my post count I am new to these forums. I mostly hail from around south Bristol, but seeing as I work in Reading at the moment that's where I'm spending my weekdays!
My current project is a Haynes Roadster which I bought last Friday as an unfinished (rolling) project, and am currently in the process of stripping to give it a good inspection. The plan is to reinforce and modify the chassis from it's current state, and fit it out with a BMW M52B28 straight six that I've had lying around for a while.
For the moment as a fun car I am "making do" with a Mk2 MX5 that I brought as a donor- a role for which it is no longer needed! It is rather low, rather loud, but very, very fun!

Of course in the back of my mind is the nagging thought that I could fit the straight six to the MX5 and use the Lexus V8 in the Roadster, but the less said about that the better I feel   ;D

I do! They are all safely on a USB stick. Unfortunately that USB stick is safely back in Bristol... and I'm in Reading until tomorrow!

Hi Badger, If the engine fits, fit it, bigger the better.
