OK, so my kit just arrived to Poland! Looks great!
Not to waste time, I am painting the engine bay black.

Got some questions to you guys! Started to fit my kit and this is what I get:





So my question is what should be the reference point for me? Something that always has to be in certain place to get everything aligned? I gues that this point should be the front. where the radiator mounts. Should it be like this or rather I should aligne some other point?

You have done a great job of straightening out your MX5 crash damage!

You need to look at these treads for reference on fitting the Mk1 kit to the Mk2 MX5:

The last picture you have posted is the correct location at the bulkhead. Make sure the back edge of the new GRP front wing is parallel withthe door shut. You will need to modify the slam panel area once you have the front in the correct position.

The rear end will hang from the windscreen frame as the mk1 does, then trim back the panel behind the door until it sits right.

Love those wire wheels. But it looks like you may need a pair of our wider front arches to cover them?

Well done, you've done a lovely job. The seats really make the interior special too.
Enjoy it!
