Engine bay
The cage, needs some modifying, so i can get in and sit in it.

His name is martin. It just needs a polish and an oil change. lol. It has a very serious rollcage. I will need someone to look at it as there are way too many bars. Lots of metal has been cut out. It comes with a few good bits.

The body looked like it could have been a really neat concourse piece back in its day
Do you know why it was stripped?
It's a 10AE yes?

It has 10th anniversary badges on it. And it must have been a 6 speed as it's writen on the dash

It was stripped for some racing purpose at mx5 mania, they are the ones that did all the work. It must have been mint when it was stripped. I will give it a wash inside and out and go through all the boxes of bits.
I need someone who knows about rollcages to come and have a look. I want to take out 5-6 bars.

If anyone is interested, i am looking at selling this car. Call me on 0410504737 or send a msg. Asking price is $3,900. I am going to put a cage in my current car instead. I don't really have the time to do a full build right now, maybe in another year i will, so i don't mind if it doesn't sell. After all it's not taking up much space.
