I bit the bullet and had my front chassis legs and sills done on my 55 plate Icon, and it worked out cheaper than expected.
Opened the garage door and looked wistfully at itā¦

Managed to get an essential Sainsburyās run doneā¦
Prepped my Wifeās car ready for my essential 40 mile commute to work tomorrow.
You know youāre down to the bare bones of jobs to do when something like this gets doneā¦
Hole covers under the boot lid. Mazda decided to put a sticky dot over certain ones then sprayed the boot lid. Of course they drop off leaving an unpainted dot.
Itās been bugging me for around two years 
well my good lady made some, I sprayed them up.
Original that had fallen off left, bet Mx5parts donāt supply these?
Canāt you tell Iām getting boredā¦

Washed the car yet again after washing it a few days ago and overnight some really dirty rain messed it up.
Hey ho plenty of spare time.

Found the annoying rattle at the back. Both drop links are partly seized and noisy when twisted, I can also make them click if I squeeze the roll bar end towards the ālower lateral linkā. Time to change them.
Wire-brushed the nuts and threads and then good olā Plusgas applied.
Two new drop links on their way from MX5 parts.
I looked at the rusty brake discs on my ādormantā NB, which hasnāt been driven for some months and reminded myself what Iāll be doing as my first job now Iām out of hospital (a full set of new discs and pads should arrive today).
I started by changing the aftermarket grille that was installed when I bought the car for a new Lockwood one. I also added the chrome fog light surrounds from MX5parts whilst I was there. Really pleased with the result and only a few scraped knuckles.
I then changed the standard orange side indicators for smoked ones.
On the inside I added chrome surrounds to the air vents and top and bottom chrome additions to the cup holders.
Good hours work!

Ordered a square number plate, and the kit from Jass Performance to swap the numberplate.
As iām doing work on the front ordered new brighter bulbs, and also orange indicators, and iām going to have a go at detangoing the headlights.
gulp
Put the car up on ramps to Investigate what I thought was a coolant leak.
Turned out to be a corroded power steering pipe,where steel pipes goes into rubber hose. The cooling pipe apparently that runs along in front of the radiator then double backs on itself. I was told that these pipes are often done away with,so with nothing to lose I cut a good part out of the pipe and spliced it into the rubber hoses.
Hopefully that should do the trick
