Mark (smokey mow) Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Good to meet you today Gary and enjoy the build Likewise mate Found the reg number by the way - on the key. Now to try and recover the V5 - what does everyone think my chances are - quote the engine number? You'd need to know the VIN to get a replacement V5 then you can fill out one of these. Trouble is that assuming the donor was declared as scrapped the best you'll get from the DVLA will be a photocopy of the V5. If the Donor was a UK car then there's a chance that you may be able to get the VIN from a friendly mazda dealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig thinks the donor kar was a pallet donor kit from MX5 heaven, but he did not have any paperwork from them - do you think they would have a record?

TIG Brother Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Good to see its made it's way to its new home . When are you moving you're bed into the garage. How come the head has been stripped from the engine? Whilst its out also check out the sump modification that will need doing to add to the list of things to do. This is where the real fun starts. Hope you have a good heater in there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was from MX5 heaven then there's a good chance they'll have a copy as they photocopied mine when I bought it. I'm not convinced though that it was a pallet donor. I'm pretty sure that this was the orginal build thread for yours and Craig's cars and post 26 reads as though it wasn't a pallet donor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAIGR Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 b****y hell Mark that is the two cars. I wouldn't trust that village idiot who's posting to put together a toy from a kinder egg .Had to strip the thing bare and put it together properly . Just reread it and boy is he full of s**t , airbox sorted ,made the tank fitted the rad , made the bl**dy exhaust etc .Yeah right. Every nut bolt was the wrong length, tank was stock from westfield as was exhaust bits missing everywhere that were still in the boxes. Sure the idiot couldn't even read let alone use a spanner. And breathe . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And breathe . you missed one "Chassis modified and engine mounts made." I guess the chassis mods will invalidate your warranty then He did though do a good job making the engine mounts. They look almost identical to the ones that westfield supply in the kit.... Oh hang on they are Westfield ones It's a Saxo forum, what do you expect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
