I'm thinking something in between mayby using a beatle bonnet, and mini lights as with the kit.

Last of the green about to go!

No more green.

I was going to post if anybody can post a pic on how they did the top corner of the front where it meets the A pillar.
Yours looks quite tidy the way you have trimmed and filled it.

Its just chopped strand fiberglass and filler, think the key is to use a finger for the application, to get round the back as it were. Took the kit to the spray shop today for a once over, verdict needs more filling and sanding, still thats less I will have to pay him but more work/time for me.

Front grill fitting, glassed a couple of 6mm studs at the ends then cut, drilled and filed these, should pull the grill up to the body, and it can be removed if required.

More filling and stopper.

And the rear, more sanding sunday!

More bling for the inside, and more sanding required, shame Hammys bailed out!

Bailed..... Nah mate just immersed in lots of stuff so testing the water

Garage work required, in hand.

Grill fitted.

that looks amazing
i like it

Thanks, update on the wheel, this was my dads so I have given it back to him, he was Welsh Go Cart Champion in the 60'S.

I call that
Respect for the father.
Ingenious.

Update, took the car back to the bodyshop, he took a pen and marked high spots on low spots, last time I saw that was on a college trip to the Rolls Royce factory in Crew, old boy beating out what looked like a good pannel, even older foreman came out and drew cricles on it. Anyway the crux of this is I will be sporting the rat look next weekend!

I wish he did my paint jobs.

A good tip, he runs his hand over the bodywork to feel rather than look.

Good day at the BBQ (thanks Chris), epic wiper fail on the way, seccond wiper (drivers side) made a great woushing noise as it flew off on the M3, still I was pushing it a bit, think it landed in the central reservation they were chrome blades from ebay that were already rusting and a ss extention that I added, anyway going back to the Mx5 originals may try to get them chromed. Will also be ditching the leather straps as the bucles are rusting, they looked great for a while, but I will be adding Morris Minor hinges to the bonned and locking bonnet pins. Goot to see all the other cars, I was very impressed by Jason's progress on his soft top.

Cheers tony .
Good luck with the wipers . I'm after another set too, but I'm after black ones .

I'm on to it as I had the originals in the garage, it should work ok with the receses that I made.

best photo I have is them all together.

I hope the trip home didn't involve any bits falling off and you were in time for the Grand Prix. Thank you for making the journey and looking forward to seeing the car in paint for the next gathering.

Only lost a chrome wiper blade and it was going rusty anyway, going back to the originals, and revised the bonnet hinges.

Removed the leather straps as the buckles were going rusty, flush locable bonnet pins on order, I have another picture, my car left only with its siblings for company!
