I've realised I'm never going to have time to finish this, and I need the space on the drive to finish off my campervan so I have to sell my 1989 Mazda Eunos Roadster.
The good (there isn't much!);
It’s a very early mk1 with generally good bodywork, it’s red and goes a bit pink if left unpolished for too long but buffs up beautifully, the boot lid has had a weird reaction in the paint and is crazed and the front bumper could do with a respray but it’s straight with no obvious marks, the sill is just starting to bubble.
Hood is watertight and looks good.
Had ball joint rubbers and track rod ends replaced for the last MOT
Bilstein shocks and eibach springs, about 40mm lower than standard – a good compromise between looks and handling.
ADL blueprint discs and pads all round – fitted less than 500 miles ago
Four new Michelin tyres fitted at the same time as the brakes
New waterpump, cambelt, tensioner, thermostat and housing, fan switch etc also fitted at the same time.
spare tombstone and instrument binacle
The Bad;
Less than 300 miles after having the cambelt changed the bottom pulley started wobbling and the engine now doesn’t run, I sourced a long nose replacement engine which will come with the car (it was heard running before I bought it but has now sat under a tarp for a year so may need a bit of tlc).
It's been sat on ramps on the drive for a year while I recovered from an injury and generally put off fixing it.
I had every intention to keep this car for several years hence me spending close to £1000 on it before it died. I started to strip the car ready for the engine swap, and had got to the point where it’s just a few more bolts and the engine can be pulled, unfortunately before completing the swap I was mucking about on my daughters scooter and fell off at speed knackering my shoulder.
It needs to go pronto so I'm open to sensible offers if you can take it this week/weekend
You’ll need something to tow the car, and a big boot/van for the engine – it’s on a pallet and I’ve got an engine crane so can help load it.
