The Story
So I bought this car in Autumn 2012 for £900 A bargain for what I got! 69k on it, no rust, no dents, 4 owners, all old people, FSH all the way to the original receipt with options list!
Next 12 Months
I kept Mila pretty standard for most of the time I owned her, apart from added dents from stones on roads... Until most of the tyres need changing. I decided to find some wheels that had a decent set of Yokohomas 195/50/15. THESE GRIP Plus after a while the exhaust died of rust, replaced that with a Cobalt cat back system from Moss.
Cd player, new speakers and teardrop door cards finished the mods for a while.

The Dry Spell
So around July last year, I took Mila's engine out to fix another mx5 owned by the girlfriend, I then stole her car as a daily and left mine ready to have a rebuild in later in the year.... Unfortunately due to money and real world issues, she was left parked up for 6 months exposed to the English weather....
The Revival
In November I finished work for the winter. This was it! Time to start buying parts! Over the next 2 months I spent £1750 on engine parts alone. the list is huge and includes Flyin Miata Stage 1 clutch package, SS braided clutch hose, MLS heavy duty head gasket, refurbished gearbox, thermostat re-roue, alloy radiator and silicone hoses were the headliners, full list below!
Glad to see this one will be different
