mazda identity crisis and my only completion this year

[stitchdup]

Why identity crisis you ask? well during the 90s i worked in a paint shop and these were murder to order parts for as some were mx-5, some were eunos and some were miata and it made getting parts murder sometimes. but on with the build. its done as a youths car in the 90s. the paints shiny but everything is just a little worn out inside. none of the trim matches, the seats are cheap buckets, the wheels are cast offs from something else (in this case a vw beetle) and the lights are tinted green while the markers were just painted over because bodywork is expensive and we didn't really know what we were doing, lol. This is how we did our first cars back then and shiny paint and alloy wheels were the first things done, then you bought colour matched lights or bought a tin of spray tint from halfords that flaked off cos we did it wrong (instructions, pah!) and last was cheap bucket (anybody remeber britax?)seats or recaros from an old capri.  this was started at 10.30am and completed by11pm last friday including polish and 4 layers of paint (all acrylic model paints) and i can now say i finished something this year

Better late than never Les! Looks great but is that dog doing what I think it's doing?

I like it. So very true, we learned by doing. Doesn't mean we did it right, but it was fun. Very cool build.
