Very interesting, considering that I'm doing ALMOST the same task in my garage presently! Thanks for posting.

No Mk.I Midget/Mk. II Sprite (quarter elliptic model) at present...I wonder if one is planned?

$7,669 for a brand new shell, PLUS shipping...becomes apparent that rust attacks your wallet faster than it does sheet metal.

If I only had 10 to 12 large.

OK...I've spent some time looking at the facility and making notes. You see, I'm still in the planning stage for my future shop.

I've estimated some costs, compared it to my budget and extrapolated a timeline.

I shoud be able to start construction in...137 years.
