I always remember one particular idiot scoffing at my claim. I wish I had bet him a tenner!<\/p>\n<p>The list of cars is growing, indeed we\u2019ve just done a deal with one manufacturer to do a build series on his new MGTF kit. That\u2019s the reason we\u2019ve been running \u2018Project OMG\u2019 series in the magazine, although to be fair we were earlier than the kit! Indeed, we\u2019ve just bought another MGF project car for the purpose.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.totalkitcar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/news_speed3_1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-8184\" title=\"news_speed3_1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.totalkitcar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/news_speed3_1-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a>Anyway, the latest new one that we can tell you about is the SP3WT a spaceframe Mini kit that is based on yep, you guessed it, MGTF!<\/p>\n<p>The man behind the project is Steve Milburn, a serial kit builder from Crook, County Durham. The car has been designed to be affordable and easy to build and from the TF you use items such as front and rear subframes (including hubs and suspension), engine, brakes, wiring loom, dashboard, instruments, gauges, switches, wheels, tyres, radiator, fan, handbrake, gearlever and all door furniture. Quite a lot then!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8185\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8185\" style=\"width: 150px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.totalkitcar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/news_speed3_2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-8185\" title=\"news_speed3_2\" src=\"https:\/\/www.totalkitcar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/news_speed3_2-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8185\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">COOL AS A COOL THING<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The MIG-welded chassis is manufactured using a combination of 25mm, 38mm and 45mm CDS tubing throughout with ERW box-section steel used on the floor and tunnel area.
