So following on from my introduction post I thought it was high time that I put together a project thread, probably as much to remind myself of what I've done as anything else!

Before I get started I'll say it now, no pretty photos to be uploaded in this post, they'll come later, and to be honest,...

This is Haleys new Mk 1 which she had for 1 day and dropped her here for me to play with, I'll leave the story and updates to Hayley herself, but here are some of the old water pump and cam belt removal for new today, other things have been sorted and i 'm not far of from handing the keys back over...

In July 2017 I finally purchased an MX5. As an IT Technician I wanted something that could get me away from the digital world, something that I can fiddle with and enjoy driving. I have no fear of engineering and tinkering but have not done much on the scale of a car before.

This is my 1995 1.8 G-Limited, it was converted to a track car by the previous owner and then has sat idle for several years.

It's got no rust at all but suffered some bad damage to the frame rails, I assume from speed humps and the usual gunk and detritus from being sat outside.

I’m also working on the principle that ‘he who has more toys, is happier’ I’ve brought another MX5.

I know Mk3’s aren’t everyones cup of tea, but couldn’t say no. Bit of a distressed sale (owner just...

Does anyone in the UK make rain rails for the hard top (na/nb). Starting to get a bit fed up of drowning every time the window/door is opened

Cheers

No not a post in tribute to Britney Spears. Instead I seem to have collected car number 5 :eek:

08 PRHT finished in Copper Red. Less than 50k with service history etc.

Appears a very clean and honest car at a good winter price so I couldn’t really say no :dance:

Couple of photos of my new...

Well another MOT for the little girl and a full clean bill of health.

She isn't a concourse by a long shot but, odd minor ding or two and the lacquer is wearing thin around the...

So a little purchase on ebay to add to my collection.

1990 Eunos 1.6 in British Racing Green. Actual purchased for the interior, but on inspection it's a good honest solid car. So not sure on my longer term plans for it.

Couple of photos to set the scene.
