Re: No hairdressing equipment left in this vehicle overnight - samass - 23-03-2012
which will inevitably happen!
looking good on the rust war, apparently my sister has some on hers, think she paying for me to go up to aberdeen to investigate
Re: No hairdressing equipment left in this vehicle overnight - Fozzy - 23-03-2012
If you can see the rust from the outside that could be a bad sign for whats hiding elsewhere. Ide check to make sure the drain holes in the seals aren't blocked.
If you plan on taking the wings off to check under them be prepared for a few snapped bolts, they are like cheese.
Re: No hairdressing equipment left in this vehicle overnight - samass - 23-03-2012
cool, thanks for the heads up! think ill get her to send me some photos, didnt quite get where she was describing it
Re: No hairdressing equipment left in this vehicle overnight - Fozzy - 02-04-2012
Well ive had lots of uni work to be doing so what better way to get it done than to go outside and avoid it.........
Let the Lowering commence
First off removing the old rusty shocks
![[Image: Photo07951.jpg]](http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c12/fozzy_255/MX5/Photo07951.jpg)
Not paying attention and get 3 and four coils in the clamps.
Not really any inbetween shots as too busy fitting and didnt have a decent camera on me

![[Image: Photo0798.jpg]](http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c12/fozzy_255/MX5/Photo0798.jpg)
Fronts done, rears to go. I also undersealed the arch and quick lick of paint on the wishbones, nothing special though.
Think may have to raise the front a little once it all settles.
Re: No hairdressing equipment left in this vehicle overnight - Scott - 02-04-2012
Looks awesome, especially with the hardtop and wheels being colour coded
No hairdressing equipment left in this vehicle overnight - Matt - 02-04-2012
Looks sweet mate!
Re: No hairdressing equipment left in this vehicle overnight - samass - 03-04-2012
noishe. lows are good
Re: No hairdressing equipment left in this vehicle overnight - Dum-Dum - 03-04-2012
Looks really tidy mate.
Re: No hairdressing equipment left in this vehicle overnight - Fozzy - 03-04-2012
Thanks people
Scott- They wont be staying colour coded, roof is going black in summer (emma wants to spray it) not sure if thats a good idea to let her loose on it.
In my lunch hour away from uni coursework, ok more like two hours, i got this done. Also been driving recklessly around the drive and garden as i love the sound of it.

![[Image: IMG_0464.jpg]](http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c12/fozzy_255/MX5/IMG_0464.jpg)
And before someone says it, i know the wheel is on the wrong way
![[Image: IMG_0462.jpg]](http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c12/fozzy_255/MX5/IMG_0462.jpg)
Its not actually a low as i thought, got about 80mm of clearance under the car.
Re: No hairdressing equipment left in this vehicle overnight - 4WayDiablo - 03-04-2012
is that wheel on the wrong way?
also is that a fake tail pipe?
Re: No hairdressing equipment left in this vehicle overnight - Fozzy - 03-04-2012
haha, you so funny phil,
Its real, exhaust gas just prefers the left pipe before its warmed up.
Re: No hairdressing equipment left in this vehicle overnight - mark_airey - 03-04-2012
Looks fooking sweet! good work
Re: No hairdressing equipment left in this vehicle overnight - Poodle - 04-04-2012
Two more votes from Charli and I for keeping the roof white, love the contrast. Looks much better for lows though, and do like those wheels.
Re: No hairdressing equipment left in this vehicle overnight - Fozzy - 04-04-2012
The roof is going black, it will look so much smarter trust me, when ive finished uni and actually have some time i will get it painted, and you will agree
Just to give an idea

Black black black black black black black black!!!!!!!!!! Looks fapping epic!!!!
Re: No hairdressing equipment left in this vehicle overnight - Fozzy - 04-04-2012
haha, thanks matt. So you like the idea of black then
Re: No hairdressing equipment left in this vehicle overnight - mark_airey - 04-04-2012
I agree with matt, that looks spot on, loving the way this is going
Re: No hairdressing equipment left in this vehicle overnight - samass - 04-04-2012
PINK!!
just kidding. black looks epic, black all the way!
also, that spoiler... thats not one of your ideas is it?
Re: No hairdressing equipment left in this vehicle overnight - Matt - 05-04-2012
no to the spoiler!!!! looks pants!
Re: No hairdressing equipment left in this vehicle overnight - samass - 05-04-2012
this was exactly my train of thought, at first i was like 'haha look at that spoiler' then i was like 'hmm....' now im like 'ew.'
Re: No hairdressing equipment left in this vehicle overnight - Fozzy - 05-04-2012
Nah, no spoiler, it doesn't look right and its far to expensive for a bent bit of acrylic.
Re: No hairdressing equipment left in this vehicle overnight - Fozzy - 08-04-2012
Well, as emma is down this easter weekend, i decided i would put her to work prepping the hardtop for its colour change, it was in a bad way with lots of paint flaking off, but this is how it sits at the moment, had to empty the shed of the rallye as its raining.

Re: No hairdressing equipment left in this vehicle overnight - Fozzy - 11-04-2012
The hardtop hasn't turned out as well as i hoped, it needs more of the original paint removing as it has bubbled up
But here is what it looks like now.![[Image: Photo0817.jpg]](http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c12/fozzy_255/MX5/Photo0817.jpg)

And here is the fail

Re: No hairdressing equipment left in this vehicle overnight - Fozzy - 11-04-2012
Front bumper back on to keep the wet weather out the engine bay, had a lil problem the other morning when it wasn't firing on all 4 cylinders. Was fine once the fog had lifted.
![[Image: Photo0819.jpg]](http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c12/fozzy_255/MX5/Photo0819.jpg)
Looks like the ride height isn't as impractical as i first thought, the splitter has loads of clearance

Re: No hairdressing equipment left in this vehicle overnight - springs - 11-04-2012
looking good there.. would be cool to put this up against my scooby..
was going to get an MX5 or a scooby but all the MX5'S Weren't the best or were expensive.
Re: No hairdressing equipment left in this vehicle overnight - Fozzy - 12-04-2012
Hehe, your scooby would make this car look like a toy.

Re: No hairdressing equipment left in this vehicle overnight - Fozzy - 12-04-2012
I only just fit in, i have the seat in a much more reclined position than ide like to drive in but you get used to it. Just need longer arms to reach the wheel, am after getting a deep dish wheel soon
Re: No hairdressing equipment left in this vehicle overnight - Fozzy - 16-05-2012
Not really an update just an idea ive been thinking of for a while now, i thought i would push myself into starting by bidding on this
![[Image: Screenshot2012-05-16at101254.png]](http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c12/fozzy_255/MX5/Screenshot2012-05-16at101254.png)
I didn't actually think i would win it
Now this idea may just fall on its face or i might actually see it through. It's not going to be cheap, or happen quickly, i plan to collect parts slowly and hopefully cheaper, and in the end spend less than i would buying a kit thats already made.
Re: No hairdressing equipment left in this vehicle overnight - Ben Jay - 16-05-2012
how much did it go for?
