1991 mk1 mx5 mariner blue

this is my mariner blue eunos ,imported in 2005 , one owner until august 2015 when i bought it…it looked like this…

 

 

many hours later…

 i have spent almost £2000 on this little beauty since purchase…and thats doing 95% of work myself.

covered just 110,000 km  (67000 miles )…

she is totally solid underneath too…

 

hope you like the results…

 

Very nice…

Nice job. I don’t think you can beat the classic look with a few refinements.

thanks fellas…

Looks great,  love that front end 

lovely looking motor, one of the best colours too 

Love the colour Whole car looks the Biz

thanks fellas,
here is an update , painted the calipers

front and rear…

 

Very nice!

finally dropped on some clear side reflectors at a reasonable price…

front and rear…

Loving those indicator/sidelight units… if you don’t mind me to ask, where did you get them from?  I can feel a raid on piggy-bank coming :-))

Cheers, Tim

hi,side lights were from a company based in germany on ebay called carparts uk.
cost around £32 delivered.
only indicator bulbs in so need to rewire and fit side lights LED’s ,easy job to do…order rubber bulb holders from pro-audio 5, again on ebay (4 for £8.99 inc del )

hope this helps…they really do suit the car.

The car looks fantastic, can’t beat a Mariner Blue

love the color looks in nice condition well done.

thanks for the kind words fellas

i got the strut brace brackets powder coated too,

blue/purple flip colour…

finishes it off nicely.

got some MAXPEEDINGRODS coilovers and fitted them today…






once fitted i took her a run to settle the suspension…this is how she looked




all suspension work was done with the help of my 12 yr old daughter , swinging on a long bar to remove the springs…

i told her to hide…lol

i will reset the heights when its settled some more…
