A friend of mine has been looking for an intact Mk2-Mk3 MX-5 for a couple of months now, in vain. All of them are bubbly at the bottom, even if the arches look fine.

Don't rush! You'll have lots of fun with the standard engine, and then you can tune it when you get bored. Several months after the IVA the financial burden of building and registering a car will be gone, you'll have some disposable income and free time again. Then you can spend some energy and money on engine tuning.
I know for a fact that the weakest part of my car is the gasket between the seat and the steering wheel, even with the standard Zetec and factory ECU.
