Mazda MX5 (Miata,Eunos)

Number two for this year, not bad for getting back into the hobby.

This project started a long time ago (can't remember when I started) I came back to it last year with an FD RX7 nose fitted to the front and Altezza (IS200) side skirts and rear bumper. After a bit of cleaning up, I painted it Olive Drab and brought some Fujimi Techno Phantoms for it.

I just finally got around to finishing it off really. It's not the cleanest build, but a lot of lessons were learnt and that's the whole point of this hobby to me.

Don't look to closely lol.

I like it. How easy was it to get the wheels under the body? Been thinking about similar wheels on an NA myself.

Thanks, depends how low you want to go.
I had to chop out the entire suspension to get this height. Probably could've been done nicer, but this project has dragged on enough lol.
