Think you lot have been on Ebay and bought the lot, all I can find are from the good old US of A with extortionate p&p charges.
Popping to see my old school mate who has a breakers yard for a firtle and fiddle.

Re: What have you done to your MX5 today/yesterday?
Yesterday: Took a flapwheel to the drivers' side front sill and took it to the metal. Used rust treatment, etch-primer and stonechip to get it covered. Dad was on the N/S cutting plates and planning how to fix the front chassis.
Today. Wirebrushed (on an anglegrinder) the N/S wheel well and rust treated.
Tomorrow: Etch-prime wheelwell and or replace rear caliper.

Busy day today, I stuck on a rear universal black boot spoiler. Then set about fitting 
And
And
Quick release is good, and the wheel, being only 330mm it's better for me at 6'2". I kept on finding my right hand would be trapped by my right leg when exuberantly cornering.
Then I got my welder out and finally taught myself how to use a 'No Gas' MIG. Took about an hour (read two or so) but I have balanced power, feed speed and moving the torch at the right speed. How on earth do you deal with adjusting the gas if you have a gas MIG? Blew a few holes in the old ironing board I was practicing on! Also made a couple in my sweatshirt!
