My Mk 5 build - The "Terramin"

[richardc]

Hi there, I thought I would share my latest project that has kept me busy for the last few weeks.

[

The idea is to create a mini shaped roadster with fibre glass mini front and rear panels connected with mini shaped side panels.
Engine will be Rover K series.
Its all going well, now on the front suspension bracket stage which is a lot slower - sorting out where the top wishbone rear point should be was a bit of a nightmare but hopefully now sorted.
Will keep the site updated with any progress.

I gave to say I keep coming back to this build - not many diaries for terrapin builds out there and the end result on this one is stunning too!
