Extra interior lights ! showing your age Nick.

I have tried putting an interior light on a standard MX5 roof, but the screws stuck out of the top of the fabric! :pound:

@ Tribute....keeps the birds off!
@ Peeps....I prefer not to fumble in the dark:p

Thanks You all for advise :) I will find something cheaper and then starts fun with it.
Mx5's are cheaper in PL in winter too :P
I'm in UK every 6months so I will order kit then:)

Quick go this afternoon. Sanded up the roll cage and sprayed two coats satin black. Also splashed a bit around the inside of the vents.
when it was time to go my 'instant spray booth had covered up the lightswitches so it was a fairly chaotic exit![IMG]http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/g...et_166055_.jpg[/IMG]

Did you spray the dog too????

As long as it wasn't overspray...

He was al' white before I started:drum: ...

Fumes getting to you?

Week 4......and not alot has happened due to serious dose of Man Flu. Not able to cope with the evening sessions!
Fitted some 6mm ply to the rear.
made a patten like this......uding a hot melt glue gun to hold the pattern together...[IMG]http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/g...et_167825_.jpg[/IMG].....

Transferd it like this.....

The ends were done buy rough cutting a bit of ply then using the boatbuilder method to take a patten. A small piece of wood, parraelle sided, is used as a 'dummy stick' to transfer a mark on to the ply (spile board). Then to transfer the marks fix the ply Patten to the finished ply and using the dummy stick again reverse the process. This method is used for everything from planks to locker bottoms, and can be mm accurate.

Thanks for the helpful tutorial. Get well soon.

Back on form now thanks Froggy, crash diet. Spot the difference....[IMG]http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/g...et_167836_.jpg[/IMG]

Rims bigger than you thought Nick? Looks fabulous whatever the reason :love: Driving it soon! :flame:

No, try again.....(your on the right lines)
Edit......
No, minus 2" each side. Now I dont need wheel spacers!

Shrinking the second side. It was a ''deep breath and cut" moment!

Hope to have the rear on by this time next week, with a finished interior.
Have new plans for the front...:icon_idea:

@ Chris, did you have to stretch the initial/original mould for the Supra, or did you mould from the finished Supra??

The Supra was a one-off using the original 240Z moulds before modding for the MX5. Sold it as an unfinished project, so no moulds made. Did u want one?

Great work on the narrowing, it looks great. Can't wait for the front end!:biggrin:

No, dont want one, I was just trying to understand the evolution of the shape.
Glad you like the narrow version. I reckon I could have taken out 3" per side and it would still look good.

On advantage is it makes the mid section between the wheels (panal after door) 2" longer too.

Matting on the outside? Fill it over?

Cut, taper outside edge one inch each side of the join to a feather edge. Support, then 3 layers csm. Remove body, clean up inside and glass two layers. Replace body, grind off excess glass to just kiss the original gell then either add more glass or gell coat over. Fill and fair ad infinitum.
Works for boats!
