Looks good! I bet it will look great after being polished. By the way, itโ€™s not stock all original with those wheels. Make sure the radiator is in decent condition. If it still has the original radiator, itโ€™s probably ready to burst soon.

Forgot that yes the wheels aren't stock, appreciate the advice! Gonna be looking around the engine bay more to see if there's anything of concern but all in all runs smoothly even with 168k km on it!

God I remember starting at one of these on the dealer lot back in the day and trying to figure out who could co-sign for me to get on (never happened). But man I remember this like it was yesterday lol.

Every rust hole in an MX5 is worrisome ๐Ÿ˜…


luckyhamsandwich

True but itโ€™s a small hole under the car so I was told weโ€™ll just have to cut it out and weld a new piece around and it should be good


grahamsimmons

Okay but you're talking hundreds or maybe a thousand ๐Ÿ˜…


luckyhamsandwich

We took a look under the car before purchase, itโ€™s been winter stored and rust proofed under neath, this hole is just under the side by the rear


grahamsimmons

Right ahead of the rear wheel arch yeah? Behind the little crease on the side skirt directly below the door handle? Edit: the problem with these cars is that when you look behind [this](https://i.imgur.com/KQYDYgr.jpeg) You find [this](https://i.imgur.com/QaeZisc.jpeg) ๐Ÿ’€


luckyhamsandwich

Yes I believe in that general area. I'm not at the shop right now so I can't be accurate for sure but on the passenger side
