New sandblasting cabine

Just finished painting the first parts that are cleaned with my new sandblasting cabine.
It's easier to clean small parts this way.

Installing the workplace

To assist in the build I've installed an old laptop in my garage. Now I always have the Mitchell repair manual and the internet at hand.

Cleaning Parts

Has I don't have the Kit yet I'm using my time by cleaning the donor parts. Still a lot of work but its nice to see some progress
Before:


After : (not 100% yet)

What's already done part 3

In July and August I've dismantled the donor.

Started at the front of the car to remove the engine and front suspension.
Then the interior came out to finish with the drive train and rear suspension.








The garage is already cleaned. I still have some weeks before my kit is ready. This give's me enough time to clean all the needed donor parts.

What's already done part 2

Begining of July I ordered the Westfield SDV MX5 Kit.
Choosen a black color. Something like this :
(But without the crome headlights and window frame)

What's already done part 1

Before ordering the westfield I looked around to find a decent donor car.

After some time I've found one for a reasonable price.

The dent in the from does not look so bad but the complete front of the car is bent, but nothing of the mechanical parts that I need are damaged to a perfect donor. Also some nice options that I will try to sell. (spoiler, interior, softtop,...)

Start of ...

Start of a new blog...

Not having the time anymore to build a complete website myself I'm going to keep a blog about the build of my Westfield.

To start the story some time ago I decided to build me a Westfield based on a Mazda MX5 to use as a cool car to cruise around during the weekends, but also as a track day car.
