Day One

Today I start to disassemble my donor car with the aid of a trusty companion, and The Mazda MX-5 1.8 Enthusiast's Workshop Manual by Rod Grainger.


As you can see the garage I'm using to work on it isn't exactly huge, but it keeps the rain off.


The roll bars came off without too much hassle, and sold for £90 on eBay after about an hour, so no complaints there.


After a day of toil, it ended up with no doors, no roof, no boot lid, no petrol and no roll bars. Not a bad first day I think. Cramming that lot in the boot of my fiesta was a bit of a mission, still I didn't have to fill up for the 150 mile drive home which was nice.
