An old acquaintance whom i have not seen for a few years pulled up and after a brief conversation he asked if i wanted to buy his TURBO orange mx5
a long discussion and some ££ later i bought it.
she is a non runner and was last on the rd 9 years ago.

She is a bit of a mess but i can see she still has potential under all that crud.
you will see in the next few pics she still has her turbo and it seems to have methanol injection as well,
She comes with a mass of paperwork with over 30k spent on her.

First job
clean her out and wash the muck off
3 jet washes later and i was all the muck was gone.
while the washer was out i gave the bay a good clean as this was full of crud also.

She is lovely and clean underneath
She is a bit wet on the inside so i think remove everything and start over is the best option
Time to empty paint and refit a new carpit in the boot
After cleaning the bay i painted all the red bits black to tidy it up
OK SEATS WERE FITTED AFTER A GOOD CLEANING AND THEN WINDOWS AND SPEAKERS WIRED IN TO THE DOORS THEN THE REST OF THE INTERIOR FITTED
I DECIDED ON A BLACK FLAP AS THE PAINT WAS A HARD TO MATCH
