 THIS A UNIQUE £99 OFFER. WHEN THIS OFFER ENDS THE COST OF THESE PLANS AND MANUAL WILL BE £149.  THE Suzuki BASED JC MIDGE ROADSTER - INTRODUCTION The system allows you to construct the replacement body for this car yourself from plywood and aluminium using full size paper patterns to cut out each panel. THIS LISTING IS A CLASSIFIED AD YOU CANNOT BUY FROM THIS LISTING BUT ......... YOU CAN BUY THESE PLANS FOR £99 ON A "BUY IT NOW LISTING" (See sellers other items)
OR TAKE A LOOK FOR JUST £10! (Refundable)
 UNSURE IF THIS IS FOR YOU? YOU CAN ALSO BUY JUST THE 200 Page BUILD MANUAL FOR £10 POST FREE! also on a "BUY IT NOW LISTING" (See sellers other items)(This shows every stage of the build with detailed photographs and the £10 is 100% REFUNDABLE against the purchase of the plans)UNIQUE CONSTRUCTION I conceived this unique method of coach building "Specials" in 1986 with the original "JC Midge." Google "JC Midge" and see just some of the hundreds of cars that have been home-built using this same method!Sadly the original Triumph based cars (Midge MK1) can no longer be constructed for use in the UK due to IVA rules governing chassis modification. THE ALL NEW MIDGE ROADSTER The all new 4WD "JC Midge Roadster" is not restricted by IVA regulations and is the first, and to my knowledge, the only "Sports Special" that can be constructed  at home in your own garage,only requiring a regular MOT test.  The car featured above is nroperly registered on the V5c as a JC Midge ( No longer Suzuki) and has kept it"s original registration number (not shown in photo) It is taxed, MOT"d, insured (Adrian Flux £200)  and fully road legal and the construction method has been recognised by DVLA and approved.This is because you constructs the replacement body youself like a big model kit, and unlike the MK1, the chassis and running gear of the donor car remain totally unaltered. The concept is extremely simple and very low cost. A Midge Roadster body uses traditional coach building materials of wood and aluminium.You will need just 4 sheets of 18mm exterior ply and four sheets of aluminium. This means that the replacement body is assembled for just the cost of these raw materials, namely around £300! The panels are cut using a jig-saw, making use of 19 full size AO paper pattern sheets that are simply stuck down so that the outline of the panels can be cut out.  The patterns are overwritten with joining instructions and all screw and bolt holes are clearly marked. Using wooden connecting blocks, these shaped panels are just screwed and glued together to form the body.  The main plywood body  panels are skinned with .5mm aluminium (thin enough to cut with scissors!) which is simply stuck on. The main engine side panels and bonnet panels and scuttle top are pre cut shapes of free standing 18swg aluminium that can be curved by hand. The whole construction is extremely strong and robust. As you may know the body of a Susuki SJ is extremely simple to remove being secured with just 8 main bolts. The new body is bolted on in it"s place and components such as the pedal assembly, steering column, spare wheel carrier, instruments, wiring loom, handbrake and even the door hinges are all re-used! Simplified working drawings are supplied to allow you to make your own fabricated items such as wing stays, headlamp brackets etc., or we can supply these items ready to fit - including an aluminium windscreen frame that can be glazed with safety glass by any local  windscreen company near to you. The radiator grille is from a black cab (eBay) and all the period style head lights (eBay) and side lights only cost around £100 in total! The main body can be constructed in just a few days using simple hand tools.The car in this listing cost around £1000 to build, including the donor car!  Other similar styled cars are required to be subjected to the IVA test  which costs nearly £500 for the test plus an £80 re-test fee each time they fail to comply! COMPLIANCE £99 for a set of  JC "Midge "Roadster" cutting patterns guarantees compliance with DVLA rules. THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL The instruction  manual shows 2 colour photo"s per page of every detail and stage of construction , and unlike a Haynes manual, has large clear pictures and large legible text!
