added to the list of parts is a Suzuki Cappuccino Washer bottle . for those unfamiliar with the reason for this, the standard washer bottle sits on the firewall of the passenger side which is next to the exhaust. you get what would happen yeah :P. well this Suzuki washer bottle sits behind the firewall of the driver side away from heat and away from engine bay which equals more space
this is the bottle.. it is an odd one isnt it This is what it should look like (i googled this image. it is not mine)

minimal damage for a panel beater mabe......fark me You must be into MX5's man! I think the NB's are better looking but the lil' NA6 I had was a solid little fun car. I didn't like the light rear end though but I'm used to larger cars I guess. Also mine wasn't worth modifying for me for what I was after.
Well you got your work cut out for you. After seeing the dash pulled I must confess.......I drilled through the firewall on the Zed & hit a pipe or the element ......oh that sound of leaking A/C gas & smell.......needless to say I will be puling dash before friggin summer Thought I was well clear of element but I guess the pipes bend sideways Keep the updates with these cool projects

yeah, sometimes miscalculations gets the better of us. i do it all the time . After a few weeks i wont be posting up for about 3 months as i will be saving up for the front cut NA8 (panels for the black one and engine and box for the silver one). And once the car is done its going to be a bit of a Frankenstein due to bits and pieces from other cars. i wont be reveling what the parts are until i actually get them, FUN FUN FUN Chewy

I love Road&ster mags. I have a few hidden away somewhere in the house. Haven't seen them in about 2-3 years.

A very sunny day today at the "sunshine state"... a bit too sunny in fact. so we had to have a work area with shade...
Today we attempted to remove the WHOLE loom from the car, and separated the ECU loom from the main loom. Before Blower motor removed, air vent mechanism removed, evaporator had to be left intact because it still has AC gas inside

End of the day's work
Probably cannot tell but its a lot cleaner than before. Will attempt to finish cleaning up the wiring harness tomorrow. Plan for the harness is: - Separate the ECU harness from the main harness - Remove unwanted wires that are useless for the project - Re-tape the loom to make it more clean
