Mk1 NA***RESTORATION***

[graymattor]

i agree with M-m

i'm a huge fan of the Work Equip 40, really nice 4 spoke retro wheel (i would love a set but i will need 16" and huge rubber to fill the tuikin99 arches)

but you cannot fail with a nice set of BBS on a nice clean fresh MX5/Eunos, maybe in gold for a nice contracts against the white and in line with the tan interior

Thanks guys, finding some nice 4 spokes may be a challenge. If I go the BBS route are there any views on repo versions to avoid etc?

Mazda versions are far to expensive for what they are.

Another happy chappy who can now enjoy the benefits of their labours. Great job.

[graymattor]

Congratulations JL, another stunning car that can now be enjoyed out in the wilderness

What's next

I will certainly be using your thread as a reference thread if i EVER get around to working on mine, some great info throughout full of valuable information, along with a few other threads, who needs google and a manual

[John&Luke]

Thanks Guys, in fairness this is one of the best forums for honest unbiased advice. Thanks to you guys.

Couple of MM stickers wouldn’t look out of place
Decided to go with this wheel option.

Happy days ...send me a text or what's app with your address and I'll fire you some off bud....
I am just happy to see that we all use the forum for what it was built for, advice is always straight and honest to help, bad advice helps no one ,FB is now full of groups with bad /wrong advice that owners are seeing as correct,if we all keep the same mind set than the right stuff will sweep away the rubbish.

Well done John, you've made an amazing car - like the wheels too, they will really set it off

[John&Luke]

Well good news my wheels have arrived - bad news, with gold coloured bolts NOT silver as ordered

Agreed with the seller to try them anyway. Then second problem. Supplied wheel nuts can’t be tightened up.

So phone call and a two day wait for tuner nuts. Arrived today BUT to long and therefore the centre caps don’t fit
Another call and shorter nuts to be sent on Monday

Temp fit to see how the gold looks and decided it’s doesn’t work, nice wheels BUT need silver bolts as ordered.So they need to go back and a two week wait for replacements.
