not so slammed mx5

I clay bared the whole car then, polished and waxed the whole front end looks amazing now have to do the rear half when I can get off my ass.

Cannot wait till September to get this back on the road finally. Have a few small things left to do yet.

I got a grip Royal Steering wheel its awesome! Their customer service is the best I've ever came accross. Got a sticker and me being me stuck it on back to front oh well I'll have to buy another one.

If anyone wants their website details or anything pm me and I may even organise a group buy or something.

Then started to look at the front sills as muck and water was sitting in between the sill and wing wanted to do some basic rust proofing. Cleaned it all off with a wire brush then used kurust and painted on some waxoyl.

Then set off about fiberglassing and filling all the bumper wholes and the cracks and shit in the splitter. Got rid of the ugly rear fog as well and wired that into the drivers side reverse light. Also wired up the the sidelights for a bit of usdmness.

The wheels studs were a balls to replace one of the shitty alloy nuts snapped in half went I went to replace them. Went for extended wheel studs so I could run 10mm front and rear wheel spacers with no problems. Its ridiculous how short the standard studs are.

Looks lovely man :)

Very cool little car :D

Really cool mx5 man, i wouldnt bother with a boot spoiler i like the lines of it with just the gwing on it.

So cool. wish i still had mine... keep it up dude

Cheers guys! Think I'll forget about a boot spoiler now, got the gwing back on and finishes it off rightly!

I think the height I have it at now is spot on! Doesn't catch on anything and looks well!

Bit of pic whoring!ha
