Elderly gentleman, large 4WD, reversinf out of a carpark. The thing was equipped with reversing camera, proximity beepers, and he still drove into me, wtf?

At least he's paying for a replacement door.[/quote]

Yep. Going on next week, if the painter will pull his finger out.

NicF... If that red door has come off the same red car that Mazline supplied me with the rear garnish from then you should be getting a high quality component..... Cheers again Brownie and good luck with your reinstatement NicF

Pity the rest of the car doesn't match then! Ah well, the first step to a full body resto.

All set for drifting tomorrow

MrGrey · Post by **MrGrey** » Fri Nov 22, 2013 8:41 pm

Looks awesome, but I am wondering what is on the other side of the garage door because your car looks really scared/concerned with what is has seen.............

A gravel driveway that its guaranteed to scrape on

Good luck with the drifting. No damage just pure fun. Hope someone gets some video footage of the eyes rolling.

$2850 and I still have the Hardtop to onsell.

was dollar reserve so punters dictated the price.

Yeah I followed that one and I thought the buyer should have upped his payment to $3600 and got the hardtop.
If he/she didnt want it, it's still worth $1k to onsell.

He exploited his funds already..... Bonus for me. I get another earn in the near future. Would have been awesome if bidding stopped just shy of the 3600 threshold where i would have included the hardtop.
He picked it up last night and drove back home. Got an email and he loves it. Reckons it drives 'Lovely' and quite grunty for a 1.6.
I have talked him into joining the forum and he might even make it for the summer cruise on sunday.
I listed monday with a sunday finish. Had about 2200 views and 183 watchers. 1 week means less tyrekicking questions.

was quite exciting from 7.50 pm onwards extending to 8.15 befor bids stopped.

$1 reserve = "Big Balls"

OH YEAH BABY!!!..... I have been watching MX5 auctions for some time now. Most of the cars that have been listed with an asking price have had multiple views but no bids. Even the cars only asking 2500 and 1999.
However ALL of the dollar reserve auctions get results. Even the cars that have needed panel beating, repaints,new brakes etc have steadily climbed well over 1500. Knowing this gave me confidence that this tidy car would sell to some lucky bidder. I only listed for 6 days as well.
This is convertable selling weather.
Luck for me my auction closed on a day following some of the best weather for some time. I was also serious about getting rid of some of my TOO MANY TOYS..... The boats are next to go!..... And ... I still got a Mint Hardtop to list.

a few days ago I had a front brace arrive and this morning I picked up some 205.55.15's (from the courier, trademe special) and this afternoon I got busy and fit them on the car. It's nice to finally have the rims out of my kitchen

I grabbed a cheap ebay front brace which arrived silver, so I gave it a red coat of paint and then drifted black paint over the top of it (similar to what I did on the mags)

More cat please,

And moar Lowe

XD

GRUVBB · Post by **GRUVBB** » Thu Nov 28, 2013 7:59 pm

Lookin Good Mr Grey!!! What was the damage on the brace? Should look more sweet if it lowers dowm some more.

MrGrey · Post by **MrGrey** » Thu Nov 28, 2013 7:59 pm

moar cat? sure, her name is smudge, she is very very fat and as you can see by this photo, she likes to sit in front of a mirror to admire herself while she tongues her bum like a rubberneck....

as for moar low, I have the stock springs back in the front because I was having major clearance issues with the old 14's on, but now that these tyres give me more clearance, I am waiting on some spring compressors to arrive and will give them a test fit again

(I figured I might as well buy some compressors for my toolbox even if they don't get used much)

@GRUVVBB .... including the postage, it was about $80 including the postage from the states.

BRM · Post by **BRM** » Thu Nov 28, 2013 10:11 pm

Wow that's cheap!
Cool cat!

Everyone needs a set of spring compressors!
Now you'll be the local go to guy
