More on the cars spec,
The engine is from a mk2 and is a 1.6 and the gearbox came from the matching car. I have removed the sump, rocker, inlet and a few other bits and pieces to have them soda blasted. The rest as been degreased and refinished as necc. All new seals throughout. Coil on plug conversion using Toyota coils. The lower coolant outlet has been reversed to allow more space for a turbo later on. The engine was very low miles and was free of any ailments at all. IT sounded very smooth.
The rear diff was also blasted with the diff carrier powder coated black. New bearings and seals fitted and an ATB type LSD (new).
The brakes were from the same car and were also soda blasted and stove enameled a dark gold colour. New pistons, seals, internals etc fitted, they're as new. New hand brake cables are in there also. All discs are new with EBC pads.
The prop has been shortened and balanced as well. I had a new tank made by JAF fabrications whole you'll find on ebay. This takes the MX5 sender/pump which is fitted and waiting for fuel. Fuel lines have been run also.
The hubs and uprights were blasted/cleaned via electrolysis and painted, new wheel bearings fitted front and rear.
The exhaust was made myself using 3" 304 stainless. There's a 200cell cat included into the system too.
The wheels are the very light 13" team dynamics wheels. The front tyres are legal and balanced but the rears are not so are just on there for build purposes.
Front suspension arms are powdered coated, the rears are painted by me.
I have 5.75 headlights, new and boxed in black from SVC. These are the same as Caterham items. I also have rear led lights, rear fog and revers lights and number plate lights. There is also led front and side repeaters there too. All new and boxed. The seatbelts are fitted too, I forget the name but are a commonly used item and brand new. Everything else you can see from its pics. The brakes are bleed and work as is the clutch.
Steering is done just needing alignment once on its wheels. There is the shortest ratio quick rack I could find in there which is new and as the correct adaptors/extensions on there. All suspension joints are new as well.
There's probably more which I'll type up as I remember.
