She arrived home today, thanks to Pete for towing her all the way back to my place on his fancy custom MX-5 car trailer.

Well I know this guy who wanted an NA MX-5 "how to" guide for changing dash light colours, so I needed something to take photos of. :mrgreen:

Looks fantastic, especially considering the price! So what are your plans for it? Track car or back to original?

They're just starting to realise what they've been missing out on all along :mrgreen:

But on a more serious note, what have you got planned Dave?

Nice purchase Dave. Ive always liked those dished 1990's style rims with a nice offset. Looks subtle but still tough. They suit the NA MX5 perfectly.

You dont see too many in Australia, but when i was in Europe a couple of months ago it felt like every second Golf or Civic from that era had them.

Ok perhaps suspension, a sealed battery, a CAI, central locking, a stereo, hardtop mounting points ... I'm sure I can think of a few things to do.

Perhaps a mail slot on the bumper to match it's Sydney cousin and red NA6 inspiration.
