Sold Rusty MX5 for sale. £250 ONO/part ex/swap. Cheltenham.

[Kiltox]

Can't find my old thread but I really can't be arsed ever getting round to fixing my 2003 MX5 1.6 with 114k miles. Splash green which is a pretty stylish* colour.

 

Starts and drives. Recently replaced the power steering rack because of leaky pipes.

 

Rusty. Really quite rusty. Mostly the sills - the chassis legs still seem to have plenty of solid metal which I'm lead to believe is good. Most likely worth saving if you can weld it up yourself otherwise it'll make its money as a breaker

 

Not been on the road for a couple of years so bring a trailer for sure

 

300 quid - part x or swap welcome

 

Located near Cheltenham.

 

Bring a trailer.

"Green" eh? Is that what they call it?

My ex-John_F MX5 is that colour, we all know it's blue. But it gets a lot of compliments, and it's Mrs_KJ's favourite car colour. Our front number plate fell off too.

 

Shame we don't really need a spares car. I do prefer your wheels to mine.

[Kiltox]

Couldn't find it using the mobile site, sorry!

 

Yeah it's a strange "green" I do agree

[Kiltox]

Also, thought I had this up at £350 before and was dropping the price so someone put £250 in my hand and get it out of here!

Is it green?

Is it blue?

 

Or is it Blreen?

[purplebargeken]

No, it's grue.

I am imagining a group of Mazda designers sat around trying to say turquoise, then after a few minutes going 'fluck it, call it green'

[Timewaster]

I never realised mk2s were grot prone too.

I never realised mk2s were grot prone too.

yup, but they tend to go in the front chassis legs which is hidden and far far worse, if this is just the sills as mentioned then it's an easy fix and a bargain for someone.

[PiperCub]

^^ The first couple of years of Mk2's are supposed to be very rot-prone underneath for some reason.

[John F]

The front chassis legs aren't difficult to repair (http://autoshite.com/topic/21650-mx5-de-rustifying/) and can be done without disturbing the front subframe or even removing the front wheels, but it's a big help if you've got access to a ramp.

I never realised mk2s were grot prone too.

When Mazda copied the MGB (fuck all this "it's a pure Elan for the 'Nineties" bollocks) it plagiarised everything, right down to the fizzle.

[Kiltox]

Still got this if anyone is interested - as I said before I'm very open to swaps etc on this (new shite without actually buying anything can sneak past domestic management quite easily.....)

[John F]

Hmm.

 

Don't suppose you're interested in a part-ex for an LT35 camper, are you?

[Kiltox]

Afraid not - not at the moment anyway!

 

Much skint.

[John F]

Hehe, fair enough.

 

I may come back to you if I get round to actually selling the LT at some point, the Disco's MOT is looming though so I suspect that'll take up my free time for a while.

[Bobthebeard]

A derisory offer may be, err offered as I have a friend who wants one of these. But I am the one who would have to repair it.

[Kiltox]

I'm listening

 

Yard clear out is almost complete, this is the last that needs to go.

[Kiltox]

Started this up to move it to another space in the yard - fired up first turn of the key and runs smoothly, engine and gearbox are sweet.

[Kiltox]

Bump. Get it out of my sight please

Some pics might help you know.
