I have one of those rare rust free mazdas .
At last .

Still not happy with the dash , will remove it AGAIN and try another layout . Hopefully for the last time.

And??? The dash is out .
I seem to be having problems posting pictures ? Photo bucket is not playing ball.

I’ve done a lot of work to get this MX5 ready to strip.
Now I think I’m ready for the conversion

Really hoping to get the dash back in the car today for the final time .
Then get the rear end on.

Hopefully this will fit this time

After six hours I’ve achieved ?....... not a lot

After six hours I’ve achieved ?..... not a lot

I haven't been through the whole thread but either that door is on wrong or the panel gaps have got a whole lot worse recently!

Cool init .

Six more hours spent on the car today, and I’ve achieved one rear light , at least it works .
The next one should take less time .

Got the lights in but think I need to reassess the lower one.

Looking really good. I love the lip on the boot. Well done.
My wiring took a while and I thought I had checked and double checked and wrote things down and still got a couple of wires wrong. Fixed now but you do have to be patient.

My back end is almost on, I forgot how much fiddling , filling and Sanding it took, but progress is good . Hopefully exhaust will be on soon then I can move it and start the front.

Still filling and rubbing and still no exhaust .. grrrrrrr

Some progress today , the timing is still out though I think.
Had it all apart again today and all the timings marks seem to be good .
I’m stumped

It’s fixed (I think) well it starts at least.
Discovered , though I can’t believe I didn’t notice earlier, that the MAF sensor was missing. Bought a new one , fitted it, it woks.
Finally

A few more new sensors have arrived , so will fit them and hopefully will be a good result .

It’s looking great. What size wheels are you using and where did you get them
