a small auto, you say ? could you pretend that you bought it for her ? bizzarely cheap insurance (might be a bit* more for a learner )

ok then, just once more i spotted an ad on marketplace for a set of mk2 standard suspension and being as i was passing on my way to edinburgh at the weekend, it seemed rude not to. the current suspension is just that little bit harsh so has been replaced with i got a fright when i dropped it down off the jacks front arch gap - blimey š¦ rear arch gap - holy fuck š¦ hoping it will settle down, i took it for a quick drive last week on the old ebay coil overs and now as mazda intended it to look thankfully it has settled down nicely, and the ride comfort is so much better - suits the autobox perfectly two very different cars - but which one would you choose ? sadly i canāt keep them both

i popped round to see me mam yesterday and checked on the Exo - the battery was showing 11.9v despite sitting idle for six weeks - so i gave it a try and it fired up first time sounded so angry echoing off the garage door - canāt wait to get it back on the road next month meanwhile the green monster sits tucked up patiently awaiting a new owner

looks great, itās a really nice size but good and chunky at the same time. itās that a home made hub ? looks like wood grain from here

i also replaced the connector for the fan switch that iād smashed ages ago right, enough spending on this thing - itās time for it to go !
-
that wooden handbrake grip was looking a tad sorry for itself a trip to the breakers and Ā£20 later ! much smarter ideally i would have refinished the wooden one but iām not confident of not making a mess of it
-
iām afraid i wouldnāt have the foggiest - all i know is these modern* mazda engines but mx5 running gear is generally cheap and readily available, loads get used for kit car builds or transplants into cars as diverse as morris minors, model T hot rods, @grizzās jeep etc
-
the other one was feeling a bit left out so i took it for trip to the shops two hour hoon it might be the scruffy sibling but it still goes like the clappers and puts a grin on my face every time

i got a message this morning from @DVee8 saying he had the car cleaning kit out - i wolfed down my krispies and hot footed it round to his place where he worked his magic with the polisher - how nice does this look now ? many thanks for doing an excellent job, the beers are on me next week š» fancy phots taken at Lumley Castle, two posh ladies gave me a wave as i drove past them at the entrance look at the shine on that !

ah yes, iāve still not gotten round to fitting the replacement (of the replacement (of the replacement (of the original))) ! it has, however, been safely installed in a box in the boot good to see the sierra making progress
