The import bit might be important depending how old you are,some insurers don't like imports.
A wanted ad or a quick browse through the for sales on MX5Nutz is your best bet.
If you need any bits i know a guy close to MK who can probably help.

Whereabouts are you based?
I am after the rubber strip that sits on the outside on bottom of the drivers door on an 80 cabby or coupe.
Might also want a lock set with keys for an 80 cabby
If you have the bolts that hold in the bonnet pull inside the cab i would be you friend forever

Just got one of these radiator is a common fault took about an hour to swap it out hardest part was making something to seperate the feed for the transmission cooler from the rad i cut up a pen lid in the end and used that.
Apart from that it feels unbreakable and can really pick up its skirt when you put your foot down.

I have done an ITB conversion using the original manifold and GSXR TB's i laser cut a plate and chopped the manifold and had it welded on. I can send some pics of it if you drop me an email. Other options are chop the manifold and use silicone hose to join it to the TB's, Mx5 Nutz is a mine of information search RobD,Skuzzle,MrPHam and Ardler Dan for a few ideas. www.mx5nutz.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=130069www.mx5nutz.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=108244&page=1www.mx5nutz.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=104772&hl=One problem is the brake bias gets in the way but its easy enough to move As said before you are half way there if you have an MS fitted and have an idea of how to home tune. If going ITB these engines have a a low compression ratio and benefit from a skim and some lumpy cams Apart from a nice sound (boy is it a nice sound) and faster throttle response you don't get much bang for your buck bhp wise but who cares.

I have just done a fairly comprehensive rebuild on my 5 (Will Carters old ride) i can sympathise with the sheared bolt problem I tried heat,plus gas,being gentle.Some worked some didn't,so i got fairly proficient at drilling out the remains of the old bolts.I broke so many In the end i had to go to a local mazda breakers and beg him for a bag of nuts and bolts
Bumper looks like an M2...very nice. What sort of aero are you planning i have a set of canards for the bottom of the bumper you might be interested in.

As i said you could spend months looking fot the problem(i know ...i have) Apart from the normal cracked wiring loom on the boot could be dirty or damaged microswitches,handbrake switch,lack of oil in the hydraulic pump,duff ram,boot or glovebox light,dicky boot lock or actuator could be any of them Quick idea of how complicated the roof operation is. www.audifans.net/ftopic-34798-0.htmlThe only real way IMHO is to plug it into a Vagcom and read the codes.

Welcome to audi cab ownership most likely its a frayed wire near the boot other than that it can get infuriating.
Its a common problem just search audi cab roof problems and start reading,if the wires arent frayed see if you can find someone with a Vagcom and read the faults.
I just put mine up and down manually....
