Mazda mx5 mk1 eunos Track car Project.

Okay so literally just in, I'll admit the photo's aren't great but I've been out there for a few hours and was beginning to lose feeling in vital limbs so sort of threw it together. I'm working for the 25th March as that's when it's *hopefully* going to a show, if I can get it finished in time, it may have to go non-running but will hopefully look the part. Bodywork time again, so lots of sanding, filling, more sanding you get the picture. On with the photos!
My tools of the trade:

Made the below brackets up to hold up and stiffen the back bumper, as there is no support as there would be standard, the cable ties that were holding it on for the guts of a year finally came off and I'm really happy with them, being as small as they are they actually support the bumper very well, chuffed.


the below photo looks pretty ugly but they actually sit very neat I think, in real life:

This number plate surround was cracked in a couple of places but I'm using it anyway, it's a track car after all. Fibrofilled over the cracks for abit of strength, and filled in the keyhole, debadged it and filled in the pinholes to make it smoooooth, that's the idea anyway.


Filled in the number plate holes on the front bumper, yet to have a splash of isopon though:

Same idea with the washer jet holes on the bonnet:

Got a fibreglass bootlid molded up and made, very happy with it, very light over standard (anyone wants one made pm me for details)

Aerial hole glassed underneath and now smoothed over the top:

Some pics of general bodywork nasties I have dealt with tonight:


And how it looks as of 20 minutes ago (abit sorry looking haha)

To provide me with a little mojo boost this arrived today

No pics as yet but as of today IT IS OFFICIALLY AWAY FOR PAINT. Should be done by saturday. Excited would be an understatement. No pics of all the works that has been done but I will update the work with pics when it comes back from paint.

Okay, so, alot has been done since the last update, I was in a rush to get it to a show on the 25th March, which sadly didn't happen (3am saturday night I called it quits). But there ys go, I got alot done in the runup. Since then I have repainted the interior, engine bay and rollcage. I also polished the rocker cover, as shown in the pics. I riveted on door covers, took a template from an mx5 doorcard and hoked about for the lightest flimsiest aluminium I could find, as it's really once to fill up the ole' and cover any sharp edges. I also mounted the seat, which turned out to be very time-consuming when runners had to be welded in to make sure it sat right. As of tonight a small flyscreen has been mounted, I will get some pics of it later. From here on in, now that all the aesthetic stuff is nearly done or is done, I will be moving on to wiring the megajolt and firing up this bad boy. On with the pics!





Seats runner all polished up

That looks SO HOT!!

Love the overall look of this, love the colour, the graphics, the bodywork. Most of all, I love to think of how much fun this thing will be? I think I know the answer ;D

That looks amazing! thats dedication right there man wish i could do something like this!

I know what you mean about the boot graphic though. what about one long, wide ish racing stripe down the centre of the car in the same colours?
