To do as it is work in progress but its on now.

Blend in the rear Pitcrew Racing boot lid.
Remove the rear fog lights (doesnt work but there to disguise a hole).
Fix the holes in the lower rear bumper.
Paint!!
Put the rear arches on properly again with rivets.
Fit the chrome ring trim around the rear lights.
Fit the chrome rear Pitcrew Racing bumper.

Still more to be done to get the car done and in some ways seems a back wards step as right now the car has gone back to being multi coloured and so a hit tatty looking. Refitted the Kanspo hard top having left the rear end to seal in the hot summers weathers. I like it with the Kanspo hard top on so should look good when its all painted black.

Yes. That funky hardtop looks right at home with the Pitcrew. Everything is harmonious.

Yeah I think the hard top works well. I used to have a Kanspo hard top on my old red pitcrew but I dont think it looked as good, maybe the Kanspo hard top works better in black or the extra width of this black roadster with the flares and wider wheels help.

Went to a car meet this morning with the local mx5nutz group, which was good. Got some better photos of the car using my camera rather then my phone.

So cool to see the full pit clew kit in effect. It's Original Gangster.

I was a little unsure of changing from the rear design that was on the car but I'm happy with the results so far. When the opportunity came up to get the pitcrew rear I went for it as knew it would bug me later if I didn't. Still lots more to do but getting there.

are you guys required to run rear foglights over there?

The JDM dog pen really needs to Garage 100 style trunklid. The taillights look a bit plain. Maybe some chrome trim rings or a 50's Ford rear taillight.

Yeah legal requirement for a rear fog light. The one hidden under the bumper is the final item. The one built into the rear registration panel is only there till car goes in for paint.

It's not finished yet. On the first post mentions the chrome trim rings need to go on. I've got a Garage 1001 style trunk lid and whilst I'd love to run it still on this car won't work at all with the rear lines now so would look a bit daft.

Like.

The kit is supposed to come with chrome surrounds for the tailights. Here is mine...

Sorry to threadjack. Hi, My name is Randy.

I am not going to manually copy 8 pages of text and pictures just so the 3 people that are interested in it don't have to go to the minimal effort to register at MX5Atlanta.

The expensive JDM dog pen is now painted and properly fitted.

Along the way the car has had a full respray so I have sorted the issue I had with the bonnet, fitted new weather strips, relocated the side markers, etc.

Also the silver piticrew from Japan arrived today as came into Southampton last week.
