The whole panel was shagged so it was removedErr, yeah, only a small one though.....
Who'd have an MX5

What, totally rusted away or just the spot welds like on some Z's?
Totally rusted away mate, it was still there but tissue thin, very light tap with a hammer was through it.
Each to their own and all that, but this bloke must be bloody mental spending what this is going to cost on an MX5.
There's millions of them.
But they are all the same, we had him in again today so he can see exactly what he is getting for his cash, I took great delight in showing him pics of my Z
He must have very deep pockets or his wife is something else to spend that kind of $$on such a rust bucket!! JIM
Some times, in similar situations, people are too proud to admit they were wrong. On the other hand , what could they do? Start breaking the car was the only solution.
It's sure now that with the help of @Sean d, this Mazda will survive, among the other sisters, which will be scrapped in the next years, sooner or later.
Forgot all about this thread, to put an end to it, the customer who is a top bloke is a retired police man and has plenty of time on his hands, he is going to do what most MX5 owners do and enroll on a mig welding course, we have boxed up the back end and he has taken it away, before and after
Having seen this in the flesh I have to say that panel now looks as new,you just csn not see any give away signs of repair and it's a real nice colour.

The problem is mate is that he knows the rest of it is fecked, and I mean totally fecked

Do you think he'll be putting it up for sale then Sean
No mate, he's too straight and if you read above he's going to learn how to mig weld, apparently its a compulsary skill if you own an MX5

Straight or not if the car has left with an MOT sure that means the car is sound.

I understand morals but if it's got an honest MOT surely that means it's road legal and ok to sell on if he wanted to.Morals mate

I guess his full for his car as well all have with our own Zed's
Bloody hell. Well you've been right with him from the start mate and given him various opertunities to get out of it but he chose to continue with it. God I'm pleased it's not my car. I do not wish to know but his bill to you must have been horrendous and he's still got to keep ploughing money in. Poor bugger.
