My housemates shed of an MX5 (Fully s**t content)

[JoeyD]

Yeah, I know. Did you drill holes in the numberplate panel? Sams doesn't seem to have any...

 

[Heez]

LOL at Solberg Avatar... Amazing.

 

[welshname]

Yeah Sam's seems to have no holes virtually. Also you got round to doing the chop pretty quick! Did you manage to get a proper pic with RACK's old bumper on it? I had forgotten

 

[sofaboy]

Ye i drilled up through the existing holes on the bumper into the rear panel

 

[JoeyD]

Nope, didn't even think about it... looked like an absolute bowl of dicks.
Pretty much did the whole chop with your stanley knife BTW. So sharp.

Looks pretty smart now. A young lad by my ways just built a 5. You've probably seen him whoring it everywhere he can -

I think he's lowered it more now though.

 

[Gally]

Love it! Needs that mental big black splitter at the front ala Seb's.

Love that. I really do like them in white!

Yeah, think that's next on the list along with a ducktail of some sort. Its 1000% better looking than the first lot of pictures though, that's for sure!

It was red and rusty. I reckon the rust will be back in no time though..lol

 

[JoeyD]

Yeah, they rot from the inside out. Unavoidable tbh. Its a shame as they're bomb proof on every other front.

Exactly. I tried telling him but he didnt listen...lol

 

[Gally]

Rust just adds character!

LOL I took the bumper off yours by just running the blade through the panel gap of the bumper.

Rust just adds character!

​You would say that <3

 

[Mike@Rentech]

Cars a car they all got 4 wheels and get you from A to B so what's the problem?

btw shed on wheels but with a bit of awesome haha

 

[Waitey]

Does he want to sell it?

 

[RDH]

Does he want to sell it?

Who'd want to buy it?

 

[Lal B3N]

Just another update pic for you Joey, my mates MR2. Not far off finished now. It runs on the turbo set up etc, just needs wheels and brakes and couple of other bits and pieces finished.

 

[JoeyD]

Erm he said £2k and its yours... In all honesty, I doubt you'd want it. I think my photography flatters it rather a lot. lol

Flol, that's awesome! Looks absolutely evil.

I'll take some more this afternoon - nothing's really changed though!

 

[Djw Dave]

Is it still cool as f**k? Then more pics required

 

[JoeyD]

He's added a Corsa C splitter to the front and removed the soft top, so I'd say it still looks fairly cool.
Two new tyres have been fitted to the front already and he's had some proper alignment done so it drives (slides) properly now. I'll get them up when I get a spare 5 minutes!

 

[Goodj]

so this isn't a daily driver then?

 

[JoeyD]

Yeah, its driven daily. The underside is completely ruined!

That is still one of the coolest mx5's I've seen, the tattyness adds to the coolness.

 

[jesus]

What a piece of s**t!

 

[Lawro]

Zero f***s given. Looks awesome!

 

[Philip.]

Lol, so cool.

Also laughing at the arch. f**k.

 

[banther]

Don't quite know how but this thread has me wanting an MX5.

 

[Heez]

Same. Been browsing for the past 30 mins at MX5s...

You've already got a Jap

​No RWD though

 

[Killjoy]

​No RWD though

Dont bother. They're shite.

 

[Reev]

The f**k happened to the arch? Or is that in the thread somewhere and I've missed it?

The plate being in the middle of the bumper makes it look like it's got rabbit teeth, too.

This thread has confirmed that I will own an MX5 at some point.

 

[JoeyD]

It was dented to start with. We tried rolling it, but it kept catching on the tyre on anything more than half lock. So we took drastic action until a new wing is sourced... Lol

 

[dmallett]

I really like this, this is the kind of thing i should own it would suit me lol

 

[cat171]

This is awesome!! it looks great on those wheels & I love the tyre stretch, the rust etc adds to it & it looks loads better with the chopped rear bumper. It's cool :approve:
