@morganendean8539 3 года назад

Unlucky mate... what happened to it???

@Tuscanvince 3 года назад

Perfect for a swap into a rust free auto 🤔

@golders99 3 года назад

What happened to the car? Was it broken for parts?

@ricardoroberto100 4 года назад

Liking the horror movie lighting effects at 8.50. 😊

That's quite similar to how rusty mine was before I started restoring it. Yes I whole heartedly agree with you that its a lot of work but I'm fortunate I've got the space to bare shell it and repair it properly in my own time. It's also been a great learning tool and an opportunity to learn some new skills. 🙂 Keep the awesome videos coming!

you probably dont give a shit but does anybody know of a tool to log back into an instagram account? I stupidly lost the login password. I love any help you can offer me.

@saulbenedict6718 3 года назад

@Kamari Terrell Thanks so much for your reply. I found the site through google and im trying it out atm. I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

@saulbenedict6718 3 года назад

@Kamari Terrell it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy:D Thanks so much, you saved my account !

@kamariterrell1547 3 года назад

@Saul Benedict glad I could help xD

Is it possible for an MX5 to live forever if it's driven year round in the UK or does all the undersealing etc only serve to delay the inevitable with these cars? How about if it's all done from when the car's new as well?

@golders99 4 года назад

Poor rusty MX5! Breaks my heart 💓

@lightsuplightsdown3018 4 года назад

@joller79 4 года назад

Ash without a hood on, you actually see his hair. 😂. Breaks my heart to see a beyound repair mx5

@danielthomas2621 4 года назад

Lots of Rusty mx5,s in the UK, sad

@Dave-on3cx 4 года назад

Like the vids. Ash is a funny kid. Would like to know what zinc primer you use.? Keep on meaning to start sorting my mx5 out but house keeps on getting in the way. Keep up the hard work lads.

@BurpleRX7 4 года назад

Still working out ways to get mine to you ASAP, every time I look at it something else goes wrong, Plus the girlfriend is keen to go to the Gudetama cafe that’s open just under a hour away!

@BeirutTaxi 3 года назад

I had an MX5 years ago, I would love to own another again but this completely puts me off 😭

@lightsuplightsdown3018 3 года назад

Just do your research and check it carefully, or buy one from us ;-)

@SamFBM Год назад

mines far worse lmao . nothing a few days and a few old filing cabinets cant fix

@lightsuplightsdown3018 Год назад

Very true, it all comes down to how much someone is willing to pay to repair.

@DrBrainSol 4 года назад

The MK3 Audio issues are almost definitely due to the amp. The machine gun sound is what happens before the amp completely dies. It's almost never the speakers :) There is a shop in Scotland specialised in repairing the BOSE amps, a well known weak point of the sound system on Mazdas - boserepairexperts.eu/ I suggest you give them a ring before you spend too much time trying to track down the problem.

@lightsuplightsdown3018 4 года назад

Thanks, we will look into that

@jamesallen5627 4 года назад

Do love the blue ones .

@lightsuplightsdown3018 4 года назад

it's certainly a colour we have grown to love as time has gone on

@jonathangilmore2584 4 года назад

That’s ridiculous :o

@KineticLatency 4 года назад

Could you ballpark how much the welding on the blue one would cost? Understand that it's not the full extent and might find more etc but just the stuff that's visible in here?

@rob_evans 4 года назад

If you look on facebook.com/roadsterrestoration you can get a feel for how much more rust lurks behind the outer panels and how much work is involved in rectifying it all

@KineticLatency 4 года назад

@@rob_evans Yeah I get that there is likely much more beneath the surface, I was just curious as to the cost for what was visible. I have a rusty MK1 that's nowhere near this bad, just some bubbles on one sill. I expect there will be more inside but nothing else visible.

@robinforrest7680 4 года назад

Sad 😭

@lightsuplightsdown3018 4 года назад

We agree

@timothystrunk7323 4 года назад

Reshell it

@lightsuplightsdown3018 4 года назад

The problem is, it's the shells that are worth the money these days, and the reality is there just aren't any good shells available that aren't complete cars

@Pwordchernoir 4 года назад

Hahaha! This is the limit... This much rust... 20/20hindsight there. Mine was inner and outer sils, both rear arches, front chassis rails, complete engine tear down. I saved one you wouldn't even give to the breakers yard!!! Ignorance is bliss!
