This genuinely frightens me as I've got an almost identical car in the same colour with rust in all the same places. Did weld in some repair panels on the worst sill, but the Chassis rails and other sill still needs doing and the cost and time is something I'm trying not to think about!

Christ, when I see an MX5 like this I get worried about the extent of my rear quarters when I know I am going to need welding done this year.

Thank you, it’s certainly not worth it from a financial point of view, we believe this is the worst Mk2 that anyone has bothered to repair, not because no one else could, but because you would simply get another one!

Why don’t you take a mould of the whole car so you can reproduce in carbon fibre or aluminium or just use Chris’s mx5 as a donor , if his can take power copy it , keep up the good work boys but Gareth and Chris together on the videos is a better formula , Chris’s natural humour complements youre slightly more serious nature Gareth

We did try to guide Mike in that direction, but he really wanted to repair this shell because it was his personal car. We thought he was mad at first, but to be honest it’s been a great project to do.

How are ND's in regards to rust?
@drumtochtyglen
2 жыл бұрын
Not a lot better they are now 6 years old. and the MK2's were getting rusty rear quarters at 5 years old the MK3's were getting rusty rear rear arches about 7 years old. I have rust proofed a good few MK4's and that rear sill and the area behind the sill covers will be rusting quite soon unless protected
@lightsuplightsdown3018

We haven’t seen any major issues with them yet, although the sill end plates are rather thin, so we are expecting to see issues
