Hint: there’s a rusted out 01 MX-5 SE sitting in my back yard with a serviceable aluminum 1.8L DOHC I4 engine, close-ratio 6-speed manual transmission, and Torsen LSD.
I’ve lost my damn mind. (That’s not my build pictured above, just a random photo off GIS.)
Real Caterham Seven for your time.

So you're making a shartkart?

I hope that's not a stock seat with a harness. Because it looks like a stock seat with a harness

It does. That would be bad. I'll put it on the list of things to not do when I build mine.

Locost!

Aww. I thought that was yours. Is that basically the build you're trying to make? I can only imagine that would be an absolute blast

Less cart, more Seven.

That’s the chassis sans body panels. This is the goal:

umm no you haven’t - this is a perfectly sensible response to the facts of the situation

It’s not in the back yard anymore because I decided to drive the deathtrap.

Love me a Locost. It’s on the list of stuff to do when I’m a real adult.

I see nothing wrong with this plan.
