    Quick tip leave the box and engine together and take out the rad and they just come straight out. Same going back in you just need to line up the ppf. I dont a clutch at the weekend by taking the lot out. Was handier than trying line up box on the ground.

    Bit of an update. The car is being a right prick. It does not want to start. Takes ages but when it does it sounds smooth and revs nicely.
    Havnt taken it for a spin yet though.
    Going to try new oil and plugs and see what happens.

    The mazda's second coming.
    Not starting 100% but getting there. Took her for a spin and it was good, bar the siezed brakes, no power steering and coolant leak, but the engine worked and thats a win. All should be well now for the morning heading to autoheroes. Talk about cutting it short!
    Wang isnt on yet, need to make some cross braces to make it more secure. It will look epic though.

    Also, hubcaps are back.

    Thangs are slow atm with the rubbish weather. Still not starting great. In need of a new battery too. The interior is saturated and getting mouldy. Any tips on how to make that better? Dehumidifier?
    I Plan to fit the front wide arches soon and make the car more functional.

    Are your seals around the windows leaking? Is your soft top ok? It shouldn't be leaking that bad unless one of your seals are gone.

    Ah yeah the roof is fucked. A new one is on the list. I'm just wondering is there a way of drying out the interior?
