Default A bit more progress

I've spent a bit more time in the garage lately. I have installed my radiator and some of the pipe work. I am waiting for a gasket and an olive to turn up in the post so that I can finish it. When I took off one of the old coolant tubes to the water pump inlet the tube had corroded badly so needed replacing. I looked on mx5 parts £100! And ebay £40! So i went to the specialist breaker next to me and got one for £5 that is almost brand new. I also managed to pick up a fuel pump plug for eternal.

Here is a picture of my almost complete radiator...

Build cost.... seems to be spending more on tools than car bits at the moment! (they will be handy in the future though).
