hi dave sorry about the delay on answering your post the car is a 2016 that was bought as 90 percent complete with some major wireing isues but we have decided to basicly start from scratch again as I had another mx5 to hand a 1999 1.8 we have so far striped the doner sandblasted all the sub frames and wishbones and recoated them fitted all new bushies berings and ball joints shocs/springs and removed the centre piston/valve from the stearing rack did a major service on the engine new timming belt waterpump ect
we then striped all the running gear of the exocet fitted the refirbed subframes and the engine we should have the gearbox in on Monday as our parts suplyer sent the wrong clutch then I will tackle the wireing loom I will post some pics shortly as I have left my camra in the workshop

It would be good to see a blog of your build in the Exocet section. Shame Shane didn't manage to finish it so it would be nice to see it completed.
