in a nutshell, CarbonMiata has recently been working on a hardtop, gauge pods, a ducktail and side skirts.

I love his work, I just wish I had more money to buy all his bits :wink:

While the ducktail is a bit halfpipe styled for me, I want the BGW!

Holy shit, it's been a bad month for MX5s.

Mine shit its water pump..
So i tried to temp fix it with some radweld..
To get me through the week..
It worked..

Then this happened..

Image

Snapped the cambelt on the way home from work.

Not fun.

But, I got the first car on our new hoist =)

Image
(Shop is a Total mess right now coz we're still polishing / painting the floor..

Has been a long week and hopefully should be all together tomorrow night
...
New cambelt & shit
water pump,
crank and cam seals, gaskets and o rings
new spark plugs and doing 14 * timing.

should have no more leaks what so ever after this!

Next is to rebuild my spare gearbox!
