Re: What have you done today/recently to your 5?
Two weeks ago I rescued it from certain death. Fourteen months and counting it had sat by the side of the road without being dríven, found out who owned it and started negotiations. It's a two owner, completely original, straight, and complete NA6 that has been serviced by Mazda all of it's life (for better or worse). It's tight as a drum and pulls like a train.

Finally got the dodgy (leaking) 13K km old water pump replaced......
Now I'm actually willing to drive the poor girl more than a few kilometres at a time!

I spend Saturday cleaning out all the spray dust from inside, put the soft top back on and blacked the tyres.
On Saturday afternoon and Sunday I got to drive it again!
Just out of interest, what did the respray set you back. Happy with the job?
Cheers

You'll love it 

If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

Parked it in the shed after the Porsche Club track day at Morgan Park.
Changing ride height was the worst decision done in a long time... Dropping it even lower than what it was before!
