Well not a resto but it is a build..... Looking through an old phone memory card, i found a load of pics from when we where building the mk2 so i thought id share them on here for anyone that might be interested. When i got it, solid non sunroof 1.3, cost me £350 Started the strip down. Bit of arch work....removed badges and also the corner seams. New bootlid, with plinth removed One mod i regretted as it was a nightmare to get it to work right, Mazda mx5 ltd edition filler cap. Into paint.... Engine in before it was tidied up and polished. Trail fit of the dash Done, well almost... Fitting the front end up. Nearly there. The first show, won best mk2 second place. Wasnt quite finished at that point as the engine still needed to be wired and plumbed in, but it looked done. On the way to MIVW show in holland. Redline photoshoot. Edition38 2005 i think. Inside...

Cheers dude, Yeah there is alot of work and some stuff that people dont notice, like the audi 100 door handles, smoothed scuttle, exhaust cutout removed, rear seams smoothed, and a few other subtle bits like that.
