Sadly the tin worm had gone to work on this old girl and the shell is beyond sensible economical repair (cheaper to buy a clean car than repair it). Also I'm bored of the supercharger and the fact it puts me in horrible classes for sprinting. 570bhp Mustangs are not the best match for 220bhp MX5.

So I went out today and bought this:

The plan is to swap the following into it from the green one:

Gaz Coilovers
Jackson Racing ARBs
Wilwood 4 posts
Wheels
Strut Brace
Under car braces
Oil Cooler
Ali Rad
TorSen Diff
6 Speed Box
peddle box
Clutch Hydraulics
Ultra light Flywheel
FM Happy meal clutch
4 point Carbing Cage
TR Lane Harness bar
Spark Sprint 5 seats
Harnesses
Momo Prototipo Steeringwheel
Tow Hooks
Fire Extinguisher

You'll notice no engine on that list. I need to source a MK2 1.8 lump for this little lot to bolt to:

and then finally paint it to look a bit like this:

First sprint is in April/May. No pressure then!
