MX5Ireland

Just bought myself another project car.. not an mx5 but hey ho..

WOW..... well done Ray. Nice choice. And would you believe I was looking at these on Done deal just last week..... now I'm jealous!!!!

Good luck!

Thanks Graham. Big project but I'm looking forward to it.

Good luck restoring this but what I’d love to know Is where do ya find them .
Loads of adverts by guys saying old cars removed for free etc

oh nice! Great project, always liked these, what kinda of condition is it in underneath?

That will be a real beauty when finished.
Please keep us up to date on the build.
Very jealous as well.

Thanks lads.. I found this on Facebook sales. It turned out to be fairly local to me and I kinda know the guy selling it.. so I went with it.. bonnet is fairly rotten but the tub is in good order. Chassis looks to be ok but won't really know until I tear it down. Engine is not in it but it had a skim and porting before it was left.. the guy I'm buying it off was given it as a part exchange and never got round to it. He has another one which is immaculate. he actually has about 15 cars.. all old and worth money. Mercs, triumphs, a porsche, a capri. A couple of cortinas etc.

Looks good . Rimmer Brothers ??in UK do lot repair panels for them.I have soft top frame only if you ever need one!!

I had Spitfire mk3 1971? only year or two ago, with bodywork done , needed painting but I old it on to enthuiast ?? in N.I.

Yeah cheers for that Robert.. I've been on their website.. probably wind up givin them a small fortune over the next couple of years
