more surprises as the aluminium panel is removed from the dash assembly to reveal a very butchered dash . This will have to be repaired before fitting
any of the new guages

I managed to locate the moulds for the Manx genuine side-pods and we are manufacturing new side-pods for the buggy . We will then mould these
side-pods into the existing body to give the buggy that 'modular' look . The side pods will then be modified and used as air-ducts as I will fit a
small radiator at the rear of the right side ( to cool the water for the intercooler ) and fit an oil cooler at the the rear of the left side

Now there's a good tip...Cheers for that Craig!
this buggy is sure coming along Wayne...Good job.
Noticed you are running a swingaxle transaxle... Sticking with it for strength? Those plenums look interesting also...Where'd you find them? Good to
know you have genuine MANX side pod molds...now all I need is a MANX (style) to ft them too! My dream buggy..the only one I will ever own!
Great work, keep it up..

Also concerning the MX-5 seats, there is one style of race seat that will fit an MX-5 so therefore it should fit the manx. For the life of me i can't
remember, total mental blank. I think it was the GP-90 or that brand anyway.
I have no sympathy for my car, only the wallet that pays for it!
Go hard or go home!!!!
