Be wary of the rear axle bushes, in fact just replace them when you get it. Last thing you want to feel is the rear end not staying put when you need it to be.
Will keep an eye on how this turns out.
The interior is basically stripped out already. There's no rear seats, no spare tyre, no rear carpet. It's basically the dash, 2 front seats and front carpet. I'll take a look at the rear axle bushes, I shouldn't imagine they're too expensive either. Things that I'm doing when the car lands;
[*]Change all belts
[*]Change all fluids
[*]Check discs and pads (these were brand new to my knowledge anyway)
[*]Check tyres (these are nearly new to my knowledge)
[*]Give it a good once over and also waxoil the underneath

Certainly is a purposeful looking creation.
When does it land?
It should land in approximately 6-8 weeks. I put a deposit down with my friend the day before the Japanese close up shop for Christmas and they returned on the 5th and still replacing the fuel pump

If the paintwork needs a tickle when it gets here, give me a shout
Cheers Stu! I think it needs your magic touch when it lands, will have to book a session soon.
And before you ask, no it didn't cost an arm and a leg to buy and insurance (£667) is cheaper than the MX-5.
