Thanks Warren 👍

I'm not sure it's one that'll stay in the collection, as it's a bit new and a little too refined for me....but I'm happy to have saved it, and to get to experience that engine 😊

Oh man, there's so many parts I need from there..... it's a nightmare sourcing 3rd Gen parts over here in the UK 😫

😕

At least you had the pleasure of owning her and you've ensured her survival..... there's a lot to be proud of there mate 👍

First I've got to try and get the Mx5 drivable so that I can shift it from my mate Stu's garage.

But yeah, I think I may partake in a glass or two of Pinot Grigio tonight.....and sleep, lots of sleep 😴

Well that was a bit of a disaster...sorted the misfire, then whilst mapping it the temperature started to creep up....turns out the head gasket has gone 😕

Oh, and my mate decided to remove the radiator cap whilst it was still boiling and will be heading to A&E this afternoon 🤦

Now that sounds like a plan ☺️😁

I'm going to admit.....that feels a long way off at the moment.... I'm beyond shattered and in need of coffee 😫🤣🤣

The head's finally off, and considering she's been used hard in competition, the bores are looking good 😊

Time to clean her up and start bolting the shiny bits on 😁

Due to being shattered after a week of late nights, progress is going slowly...but at least it's progress.

Best get back to it 😁

It does, doesn't it 🤔🤣

🤣🤣, yep, definitely that....😬🤣

It was my pleasure mate.....and yes, I am home already....😬😁

And she's not quite ready yet, but might well be after the weekend.
Heading over to see you was a great last run for the standard engine, that's for sure😉
