Lol. That's right Alga, my mx5 is a rusty pile of crap, that's why I bought it, otherwise if I bought a half tidy one, I couldn't bring myself to break it. But, according to my wife, it's fairly tidy, needs a luck of paint here and there, and a bit of filler ! Lol. The mechanics are perfect ! Both rear arches need completely replacing, ns floor pan needs replacing the list goes on. That's why women shouldn't buy cars, because you will be Fred Flinstoneing it within a month ! Lol. It could be done, but as I told her, it's cheaper to build the roadster than to restore the mx5. She bought it ! After watching algas video of the caterham, I now fancy a 180 bhp duratec engine ! Don't tell the wife, she will chop my nuts off, all this hassle & after 1 bloody video I may have bought the wrong car !
