Sorry, double post, that's before kids bedtime, and did I post that? Afterwards!

Pictures pictures pictures, please!

Hi Nick I use to do quite a abit of spraying Years ago with cellulose much easier Ive had to many problems with the 2k,wrong conditions etc,I wanted to do it myself but Ive decided to have the top coat put on by a pro .which is going to put me over buget but it needs to look good to achieve the right money, I'll take a couple of pics tomorrow Chris

I was starting to come to that conclusion too, for the same reasons. Mindyou, spraying in a single garage is a challenge in itself, what ever the paint. Looks. Like you have done 95 % of the job anyway.

that looks perfect for me

I have a question for the gas cap

I have found nothing about filler neck.
Does anyone have a picture of the filler neck.
Is it long or how is it done?

Hi Hieinrich I have used a mini flip cap £15 ebay & think most people buy another Mx5 filler neck & make 1 out of 2 its what I did as advised by Chris. my car is in the paint shop having its top coat done I should have back tomorrow,just have to wire the lights up & it will be driveable again getting quite excited,when are collecting yours ?

Hello Grayone , thanks for the information.
So we will do that too.

Here you go

wow you got it
Thumbs up, looks damn good
Good luck for the rest

Nice one! If you don't mind telling what did the paint job cost?

Top Dallah!

Well done Grahame.hoto: It looks very shiney! Must be one of the quickest start to finish builds of a 250. Was it sprayed in a booth then baked?

thanks redrarbike I managed to get the primmer ics on but forgot how

No worries...looking good

Hi all week 7 thanks for the encouarging coments, Im having a problem with the side ,tail, number plate & fog lights ,Ive checked the fuses & they seem to be ok.so I think it might be a relay but where is the light relay?, has anyone put the rear sceen in there self,I dont know whether to risk it,

Hi Hammy & Nick the paint was done in a booth I dont know if it was backed,he chareged me £400 for the top coat,I have to take it back later for a flat back & polish

Hi Grayone,
Do you have 12V (positive) to the bulbs?
Best measured against a good ground, ground not measured in the lamp socket
Then measure from the battery + to, the - ground of the socket.

Somewhere I have a wiring diagram
I'm looking for him

Not bad considering the cost of paint, good call on the diagram being male, it would be as its a blokes thing, if we used gender in English, we only use one that I know of and its "she" for a boat or a ship, every thing else in English is neutral. still the english is better than my German, so hats off. (or my Fench or Czech).

Do not ask me about grammar
I'm working on it

The car looks great Grahame Can't wait to see it with the new wheels installed.

The light problems will be an earth fault, almost certain of that. Check for any loose connections, all the lights share a common earth as far as I know.

You will need 2 people to put in the rear window. Feed a piece of strong string around the inner channel of the rubber seal (with it in place on the glass) overlap the string at the base of the window, put the loose ends of string inside the car, then push the lip of the rubber over the bottom edge of the window opening, with your helper pushing down on the glass from the outside pull then string slowly out from the rubber causing it to pull the rubber over the edge of the window opening. Take your time and it will fall into place, once in you can seal under the rubber with clear silicone.

Thanks Chris it is looking good now Ive fitted all the mesh today put the new wheels on at last I'll try to get some photos tomorrow ,I have fitted separate earths to all of the lights I'll have to check them again failling that I'll go to an auto electrician.

Hi Heinrich I dont have a meter to test it with
