After much thought and looking about i finally decided to get an mx5 just for a bit of fun and a good laugh more than anything. I found a 1.8model mk2 locally and bought it with 12months mot, unfortunaltly all the fun has to stop this eve untill i get my insurance etc all sorted as i still have the accord type r on the road. heres a few pics not the best of quality but all i could manage on my phone

been on leave today so decided to make a lilttle start, so far rocker cover and inlet manifold area and slam panel all de greased and looking cleaner, took off the surface corrosion and gave them a quick scrub, rocker cover will be painted once its removed to change the cambelt shortly. Painted the rad brackets and wiper arms as they were looking a bit tatty with some black paint i had kicking around, and removed the front number plate and trim, what a fecking job someone in the past has stuck the number plate to the trim with some sort of no more nails and then the trim to the car with similar stuff as well as a couple of wood screws with a good angle and shape never knew you could bend a wood screw like that.

How it looked once i had prized the plate and trim away

another mx5 :) B1



a bit bit of cleaning up and scraping later followed by some trusty colour match t cut i dound in the boot,

another mx5 :) B2



just need to decide now if i fill and paint the remaining holes or do i just get a hole saw and drill some bigger ones for "extra cooling" by doing so removing some of the smaller ones. Number plate is soon to be mounted to one side once i make up a brakcet.

haha, i wish i could get some but it wont be for now, il see what these rota grids are like that welshdecs has for sale, they may just do the jobby. cars coming along just in the process of changine a brake line it scored an advisory on at the mot, much rather get it done now for peice of mind and know its not going to be picked up on next time. Just need to order some paint for the front bumper and wait for some other items to arrive.
