Cap, do not, I repeat, do not knock yourself for the amount of work you have done here. Anyone would be pleased with that amount of work at the standard you are doing, the parts are looking great after the refurb. Question, how the hell do you remember where everything goes? I know you've done this thing before, but that's a lot of parts and wellllllll, well done mate I have to say. The big truss looks great, what a spiffing job.

Hi. I suggest replace bearings on hubs if you can. A bit of git job but really recommend. It is actually a great deal of job in 4-5 hrs tbh. Also replace engine mounts and inspect and or replace bushing on suspension as full set if you can. Give it a balancing job for prop shaft when going back to car. Please also inspect for rust fromt engine bay beam and sill cavities. I used Dinitrol, geat help to spray cavities in chassis. If you struggle with bolts, impact driver and loong drive cycles got my suspension bolts out with a bit of bang here and there inbetween. Wish you best of luck. Those cars are brilliant!

You take also rear subframe off the car and restore pretty easily if bolts not seized. To remove bearing and assemble i used burner to heat hubs (not bearings). Then they bang out easier and assembly is also nifty. But please do not cool parts after. Let them cool slowly, maybe also slowing cooldown with heat gun gradually to prevent structural cracks.

All that grease inside the bearings should have done a good job of preventing rust anyway cap. If you are confident enough you can probably knock the bearing race out enough to pop that seal off, re-seat the bearing race and re-pack the bearings with new grease.

@@grimreapers2 if the grease in the bearings look ok then you can just get away with not doing it, if your worried then take the bearings to a mechanic, shouldn’t cost too much since you’ve done a lot of the work already.

Cap, is it the mission that dictates that you keep using the same plane, in this case the F-16, or would the F-15 (if available) be better for reaching out to the fighters protecting the enemy AWACS/A-50's? Liking the car refurb too. Edit after you shot down an F-15, I see. You don't have F-15. Shame.

For cleaning driveshafts, or similar stuff, you could use also oscillatory(?)/oscillation(?) grinder. Lower RPM (lower probability of taking to much material), but adds extra movement, and you can select sand paper disc fineness (?) that suits best. Hope you're doing well. It's nice to see your progress with MX-5. Shame I couldn't blow her up on last mission.

Fun mission! Hey Cap… Can we now sim a US strike into China with… F22s/F35 operating forward in ninja stealth mode w/ ew platform on point… Acting as scout targeting platforms for F15ex to missile truck for… In this scenario, China expects the strike… The US said abandon your island campaign in the next 14 days, or else we will use military force… 14 days passed, time is up, US attacks!!! They are ready to defend and expect this tactic from the US… All out… US said we’re coming… hits em with the ‘everything button’ missile preemptive strike… China expects this… The US follows this with immediate aviation strike to: Objective 1) annihilate any airborne resistance Objective 2) eliminate primary enemy air base capability to resist Objective 3) destroy enemy command & control which is placed in “hardened” military defenses, pre-existing SHORAD with overlapping (2+) S300 or better overhead cover for air defense… Perhaps the F22s need to scout /w F15ex air engagement cover to carry their bunker busting precision to. targets at the third objective… some of the f15ex munitions are reserved for the Second objective… Too complicated? But maybe possible to do?

Best results to sanding off rust and or paint is to use a DA (Dual-Action) sander with 80grit and work your sandpaper stages down to 180-160 grit.

Loving the build content Cap! If you ever consider upgrading the Miata suspension in the future, definitely look at getting something from Bilstein. I personally know one of their reps and they can help build a package for just about anything. A lot of the MX5 road course race teams in the US around the New England area use aftermarket Bilstein setups, better than stock on the road for normal driving and absolutely amazing on the track from what I've heard. Not to mention they are super easy to fine-tune, they use nitrogen gas with adjustable valving to set the rebound and compression rates exactly where you want them and are re-fillable as long as you have nitrogen gas on hand.

Nice work Cap, clearly a man of many talents. Once had a drive in a Eunos (MX-5 from abroad- owned by my wifes eldest lad) with the roof down and found it a complete blast. So much fun, even at lower speeds than the national speed limit. Unfortunately he wrote it off in a rather silly accident.

The wire wheels and sandpaper flap disks are the best for removing rust without damaging the metal underneath. Its not a fast process but its about the best you'll get at home. You could try a sandblaster with a softer medium like glass beads or crushed walnuts shells to take the rust off faster but you'll make a mess that you'll have to try to contain
