Day 12

A significant step has been today. The old MX-5 body has been taken away, which means that now I have space again!!



Obviously the other bits and pieces had to go back in, but it means that the engine hoist can stay assembled which is nice :)

With alot of sweating and swearing the back end has been mostly pull apart.


I think one more trip will have the garage ready to recieve the new chassis when it arrives in a few weeks.

Day 11

It's official, the car is now no longer a car, it's just a pile of bits. Both subframes are off, and the body is scheduled to be taken away in a weeks time :)

It'll be nice to have some space again! It's so underated.


As you can see, my nans garden looks more like a breakers yard (kudos to her for putting up with this)

Also my new chassis and suspension has just been ordered, and should be ready for collection in around a month, it's all coming together now :D

The only slight fly in the ointment is that I couldn't for the life of me get the suspension to part ways with the hubs, and I broke a socket trying. Still it'll come off eventually.
