Throw back, little winter project: Mk1 Mazda MX-5.

Looks great. Have a look at some of the speculative prices for Mk1s on Autotrader. There’s one on at £18,500. Yeehar!

Nice! How? Rattle can or something more difficult?

Paint looks brilliant! Mind if I ask where you had it done?

Good sanding, followed by lots of very light coats of a heat resistent black spay paint. Really pleased with the finish. You just camt find these arms any more without paying a fortune.

Revive, Basingstoke. They take massive pride in their work. The paint was finished up and the job managed by Auto Curators, Hampshire.

Thanks. It has all got a bit out of hand, but delighted with the result.

Certainly seemed like a nice little example to restore, good work.
