Updates on the MX5.
I went looking and found a used hard top. They're usually crazy over priced, but this one had some leaks so I picked it up crazy cheap. Replaced all the old seals and tested it, no more leaks. Also found some rectangular lights to replace the stock circles. Neither of these bits are colour matched.   This is where my luck started to go down hill, however. My not so trusty 1.6l seized up on me, so that had to be pulled out. No progress photos on that because we did it at a shop pretty far away and I forgot the DSLR. I replaced it with a 1.8 that I stumbled upon for a decent price and it had low KMs. Once I went to pick it up I realized why the price was so good; 5 Speed. So I went from a 6 Speed to a 5 Speed, but the old 6 speed was pretty wonky and not worth switching over. New engine was fitted and then someone hit my car. I never saw who did it.  Sh*t happens, so I fabricated some new bumper mounts and fixed it. Then I found the perfect opportunity for some wheels. Someone on Kijiji was selling a set of 16x10 Hayashi Racing Streets for dirt cheap. Found out that's because they were practically dirt. I cleaned them up really well but I feel they're a bit played out. Anyone want to trade or buy? Let me know. $650 (OBO) for all 4, they're wrapped in brand new Toyota Proxes tires.  Also got myself a Nardi Torino steering wheel. My old one was pretty bad from the previous owner and I found this for a deal.   So that's it as of right now, may or may not paint the car. Don't want to lower it more on these wheels as I am looking to sell. Let me know if you're interested, Cheers  Also if anyone is interested in the car it is available. $5000 firm with stock wheels thrown in plus the original lights. |
