Not an official update but its been slow progress on the b as ive been saving to get this little gem
92' mazda mx5 90k on the clock runs perfect, sills and arches look good at a glance (will take further inspection before buying) but needs anew roof and abit of mold has grew on the seats due to f**k roof but easy enough to sort, needs some tlc but im prepared to do it and this should be on the road looking smart again next year at which point the corsa will be garaged and worked on in the spare time, as for the corsa currently just got to spray and fit: gsi front bumper, spoiler, smoothed rear bumper, spray arches and refit/bond on, and fit rear coilovers, buy new front coilovers as the shortened shocks with 60mm springs i bought havent came so i believe a scam from a guy on gumtree.. But i'll update this if i get this miata, should know by the weekend as a gentleman bought it before christmas but hasnt collected it (hes in wales) and he had a heart attack hes now recovered afew months back and hasnt moved it so she is going to refund him and sell it to me (if he accepts) so fingers crossed!

always liked the mx5 as a drift slag/road racer but don't think I'd like it as a daily tbh
Mr2 is better btw

Im really not sure how the cars in there its such a tight fit haha
My mate has one dropped 100mm all round duck tail, spacers for wide wheels and arches, list goes on its his daily/part time drifter, wet mornings when no ones around!
In two minds whether to use it as a daily or a drift car, maybe start as a daily an see how it goes
I do like mr2's but not enough to own one i don't think, and convertible man come on!

They look unreal with the widebody kit a sleepy lights
T top is better than softtop imo but that is mainly because the bandit had a T top

Got some smoked depo's and slammed the car, im not sure how low it is as im on front and back coilovers and low profile tyres but the fronts about an inch and a half off the floor, and the exhaust is about the same
Managed to rip both front mud guards off and half take my bumper off, also lost my front left arch trim somewhere haha going to get another one
Started spraying
Also got some stickers ill get pictures of them in a while!
