Winston the MX5

MicraFish

Rollin' with Diesel and V8 Power
I collected Winston on 20.02.2010, and I haven't stopped smiling since! :grinning:

He is a 1999 1.8iS 140bhp edition Mk2 MX5 in Metallic BRG.
Limited Slip Diff, Power steering, electric windows, ABS, Heated Glass window, ducktail spoiler, foglights and Volks-lookalike Rota alloys.

He is sublimely quick, much quicker than Bubble Mks 1 and 2, and although I haven't tested him to the maximum, handles fairly well too!

I need to do a bit of work on him - new roof, which gets fitted Saturday; T&T due in April which will be fun...; general tidying up of the icky wood veneer interior and generally just tidying him up a little bit and giving him some TLC because I think he's had a hard 11 years of life!

Plans include:
  • new green mohair roof
  • anything required should he need it for the MOT.
  • luggage rack on the way
  • retrimmed dash
  • de-tangoing of the headlights and side markers
  • some better brakes or pads
  • maybe some lowering
  • some shiny trinkets like an exhaust or roll bars

That's about it!

Some pics for you all:
