Shame the engine is toast, I sold my 1.8 with 33k on for £1k

Yeh it is but car only cost me 725 and I knew it would most likely be knackered.

Iv seen the seats on ebay are 250 and the gear box is worth about 200 so they should be a bargain for someone if they want them as I will just want them rid of quickly when they're out

Nowhere near Basingstoke lol

How much was that stand?

Free... Was lying about my dad's house when we cleared it out.
Maybe worth checking ebay/gum tree

So apparently "engine cuts out" actually means cylinder number 1 rod is hanging out of the sump wondered  where the oil was leaking from and iv just found a hole in the sump with rod hanging out

Head is off, anger got the better of me so I cut the front cover as I just can't be bothered to try take the front pulley off, head looks in good condition though.

So just the block left in now really, need to get under neath and undo the ppf and gear box etc, noticed the mx5 has some extra braces under the car? Helps stiffen things up?
When I get around to having a cage put in I'm going to tie it into the gear box and also the diff, seems like a good thing to do to stiffen things up.

I was hoping to keep the soft top but it won't work with how I want the rear part of the cage to sit but it will stay in for now.

Makita DTW190Z Impact Wrench 190Nm https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01EJBJY66/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_gB3FDb4TQST3Y

Ordered myself one of these, always wanted one for working on cars but never had an excuse to get one until now.

Sadly though I'm nit paying the cost for one which will tighten the large rear nut that hold the flywheel on up to 300lb/ft

Probably to help the chassis stay in piece when the tin worm attacks.
