I’ve had a change of heart on an “unfinished project” that I bought from eBay and have subsequently bought a load of parts for before discovering some issues with the chassis. We have 2 young kids so I'm unlikely to have time to build a new chassis in the near future.

I’m undecided whether to hang onto everything until I have time make a new chassis, or to sell the bits so testing the water to sell everything together, ideal for someone setting out on an MX5 buid!

Update - I will split, prices added below. If any of them seem way out let me know.

• Haynes roadster bodywork (all RAL2009 Traffic Orange except front arches in white): nosecone, bonnet, side panels, rear tub, rear arches, and front arches. (everything except scuttle). There are 2cans of 2k RAL2009 for the arches. £450

Hi if you decide to split could be interested in the seats and polo radiator

Interested in bodywork if break

Thanks for the replies. I am happy to split if all the big bits would go fairly quickly. Only one of those I haven't that someone hasn't expressed an interest in yet is the cage.

Photos on Flickr.here
Chassis has obviously gone separately

What size is the rear diffuser.

cheers

Hi, can I have dibs on the shocks and springs please.

I will split, prices added in the original post, some of it hard to price, let me know if any of them seem high.

Hi Hugh,

What model mx5is that loom from please? Does it come with the immobiliser unit along with ignition barrel & key? (They're all integrated)

Just had a better look at the loom, it has been cut about. No sign of ignition barrel though intrigingingly I have a key! I'll add photos to Flickr now but as it's not complete it can go free to anyone who wants to collect it.

Do you have any pictures of the bodywork?

1 bodywork photo below, more in the Flickr album accessible by clicking the photo.
Side panels and rear arches were unwrapped for the first time to photograph and came from Equinox in faversham earlier in the year.
The rest came with the kit on eBay, there are a couple of small marks on the nose come all but 1 should polish/wet and dry out, and one bubble on the rear panel approx 3mm x 1.5mm. I had intended to cover this with the number plate. Photos of the marks in the album
