Happy christmas! -ish Got a good head of steam up for clearing out cars i don't need, and on the back of the iveco now is the remains of a v-ltd mk1 mx5 Engine is sold and gone, matey is having the slipper and probably the shafts, and the steel wheels are heading for my mx5 but everything else is fair game. NOTE PLEASE car is rough as a bears  , chassis rails rotted out, hood is goosed, leather is goosed, almost all panels except boot and bonnet dented Still got the nardi in it (wants refinishing), seats be good for a re trim? Gearbox, prop, lights, mirrors, sill trims anything else you can think of just ask. Bits will be cheap, all located abergele, north wales but about 90% sure ill be heading midlands route south soon ish, as far as london / kent Kfw |

What's the driver's wing like? If it's not bent in half or rotten I'm interested. Both wings for that matter!

Don't take it off specially but if the prop is accessable can you give the UJs a waggle and see if they are smooth or notchy? How many miles are on it? Might be interested in the gearbox as a spare if it is likely good. Ta!

The ideal situation would be to sell the nardi and keep the boss, as ive a lovely worn old leather nardi I would chuck into my other mx5, but hey I don't really need to if you need it jim
Rich, in any case, consider it sold dude!
Any more for any more? Should add I only sold the bare long block, so have all the ancillaries, alternator, starter, think I even have the aircon pump

Hi Is this a 1.6 or 1.8, if its a 1.8 i would be after the brake carriers if you still had them. also need a power steering rack, exterior door handles and possibly front subframe depending on condition. There may be more but i can't think right now cheers Gus |

Hang on, that's a point. If its a 1.8 I'm not sure I can make use of the bits.

If there's a rear sub frame and suspension, hubs, brakes and whatnot I could go for them, frame doesn't need to be perfect as the project it's for is taking a sizable amount of rebuilding anyway!
If you're heading in the Essex direction some time, that is.
