MX-5 Donor What did everyone else keep?

[sven8t4]

Hey all,

Just before i start stripping the MX5 just wondered what everyone else kept?

Been offered a quick removal by an MX5 breaker for the car, but i want to make sure I've got everything before giving him the thumbs up.

Engine and sensors/ancilliaries (except for power steering and aircon pumps)
Exhaust manifold and first section of exhaust
Gearbox
Propshaft
Diff
Driveshafts
Front and rear uprights
front and rear calipers
Clutch and brake master cylinders
Handbrake lever and cables
Loom + ECU
Cluster
steering wheel, column, and linkages
Airbox and intake pipes
Wheels
Lots of nuts and bolts
Probably some other stuff I've forgotton about too!

It's worth stripping off as much extra stuff as you can, as what you don't use you can flog on ebay/forums.

I kept the pedal assembly too, hoping to reuse but may not be able to. As John says take off as much as you can. If your on a budget you can make a lot back selling bits.

Blimey, I don't think I've ever inspired anyone before! I do feel quite proud, lol
Just don't blame me if it all goes tits up!

Well the MX-5 is on Ebay with a few bits sold already, roof, mirrors etc. Bringing down the buying cost already! Hopefully will break even on buying it or make a profit!
