This thread might sound/look like a repost of one I started a few weeks back, but I can assure you it's not. Here is the original thread: retrorides.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=pfsw&thread=117374&page=1
^That car^ was bought as a whole by an RR guy just before I started stripping it.
I did keep the 4 spoke wheels and the genuine Mazdaspeed roll-bar though as part of the deal and these will be up for sale very, very soon.
However,I am collecting have now collected another BRG green/tan leather V-spec tomorrow but this one WILL bethis has now been completely broken for spares. It was the victim of neglect in the rust department and unfortunately sufferered from a lot of rot in the sills and in the rear arches. Anyone who knows MX5's will know what I mean when I say if it's this obvious/visible from the outside then it's going to be a whole lot worse on the inside.
If you are interested in ANY parts of this car, please let me know and I'll get back to you with photos and prices. Anyone who put requests in the last thread should have a PM now and they have first dibs on any of the parts they requested previously.
After driving the car around for nearly two weeks as a temporary daily, I can confirm that the engine/box/mechanicals are all in very good working order. (very recent cam belt, clutch etc...)
Here is the car when I got it and how it looked while I was drivng it about
Just over 24hrs after lifting a spanner it looked like this:
Complete running gear removed:
Running gear broken down into more 'storage friendly' chunks:
Every single connector labelled for easier identification
Video to come of the engine doing a cold start....
I have pretty much everything from the car including the FULL running gear but it's impossible to list everything, so please ask. Here is a list of some parts that may be of interest:
FULL enigne & gearbox conversion package including ancillaries, wiring loom, ECU, speedo, fuel pump etc...£400* (please see below for details)
15" genuine SSR Watanabe RS-Eight 2pc rims - VERY sought after wheels. Will need to check width, but I believe them to be 6.5" or 7" £350
15x7" 4 spoke alloys - when I say rare, I have never ever seen a set before. Nor has anyone I know who has seen them either. £250
Genuine MazdaSpeed roll bar with all fittings and bolts. £150
Genuine Nardi Torino hardwood/black spoke steering wheel with matching Nardi gearknob & handbrake sleeve. Stunning condition - the only downside is the Nardi hornpush has been replaced with a JDM one. £100 for all three (offers for them as seperates)
COMPLETE V-spec tan leather interior. Both leather seats with headrest speakers, door cards, dashboard, crashpads, carpets, plastic panels, every tan coloured clip or trim cover...100% of the V-spec stuff. The drivers seat does have a tear to the bolster and the drivers door cars has a couple of nicks in it (not very obvious) but otherwise in very, very good conidition. Priced accordingly: £150
V-spec limited slip diff in perfect working order (as tested numerous times while using the car: £120
Please ask if there are any other bits you might be interested in including subframes, brakes, wishbones, other interior trim etc.....
* Engine and gearbox were in perfect working order when removed from the car. They come complete with all the ancillaries (starter, alternator, coil pack, AFM, filter box, induction pipework, manifolds, downpipe etc....)
The wiring loom has been removed intact and complete - as in 100% of the wiring loom. Every plug has been labelled so you have everything needed to do a complete wiring conversion if you want to...from the front lights to the rear lights and every single wire in the middle.
The conversion kit also comes with things such as speedo clocks and fuel pump to make conversion into another car much easier.
If you would like any more info, please just ask.....
