Work on the Black Beast Begins

Well work finally began on the Mx5, first things first where to remove the rusty ECU/Foot plate on the pasengers side and move the ECU under the dash then texture coat the floors to make them look a bit better and to waterproof them. Ended up installing a head deck and rewiring all the speakers so they work while i was at it. Sadly the speakers in the seats are a bit rough but im replacing the seats anyway, more on that in a future post.




And all the lovely Rusty peices i removed from the passenders side.


Got my carbon tail lights in, had these sitting for about 2 years waiting for a car to put them on, got them for free to. They are not perfect but they will do for now, Got my Mazdaspeed Exhaust Peice on too.



Also took out the bits of rust i found in the sills and painted them, and tidied up the front bumper a bit, car got extreamly dusty, joys of working in a panel shop. Fitted up a headlight cover get a bit more cold air into the intake, cover was also a freebe ive aquired.




Thats about all i recall doing, got a list of thigns to look for and do over the week so should have another update within a few days. Thanks for looking.
