Despite two previous sevenesque builds in my past and vowing ‘never again’, the itch to build another car has returned after a 20 year hiatus. Things have moved on greatly since then. New donor vehicle and engine options, huge increase in after-market tuning & accessory options, and much improved internet access to a rich array of build resources.

These are my personal thoughts, comments and humble suggestions as I convert a 21 year old Mazda MX-5 NB-FL 1.8 VVT into an MK Sportscars RX-5 140 (initially), with turbo option to follow once on the road.

Thanks for reading.
