Nice.

I‘m staying the hell away from model cars. That‘d get out of hand right quick.

I've done some Gunpla in the last few months (picked up two kits, only made one so far). It's quite fun, very Zen as you're working.

yeah, I've got a bit of a problem with model cars.

I've got a few Gunpla, they're way more beginner friendly than cars. They snap together and have 6 or more colors so they look great without paint or even the decals. Whereas snap together cars look like crap without decent paint.

Now that I’m out of hospital and I’ve got a bit of time up my sleeve, I’ve finally started to dismantle the parts MX-6 I bought back in February. Upon further investigation, the poor thing is full of rust. But it still has plenty of parts that will come in handy to keep my MX-6 on the road, along with the all important manual conversion bits (my MX-6 is an auto). Pretty much everything electronic/electrical on it seems to work at least, haven’t gotten it started yet though as it has an aftermarket security system that seems to be cutting off the fuel pump, so I’ll have to figure out how to Hotwire it. Turns out it was for the best that I paid through the nose for that Mazda wiring diagram book a while back.

Also I’m taking a bit of time off work which will largely be spent playing around with MX-6s, idea is that I want my MX-6 to be ready within the next month for me to apply for classic rego. Then I’ll be up to having 3 out of 5 cars in the fleet on the road which will be pretty cool (up from 1 this time last year)
