Thing with the MK2 MX5 is that it's very hard to find one that's mint other than the chassis legs, so what starts as a quick rust repair turns into a mild resto either costing much more time or money than originally intended.
I honestly think Mk3s are starting to get cheap enough that you can get one for the price of a mk1 or 2 that you've then had to fix up.
Or hang on until a MK3.75 enters your price range, that's the cream of the MK3 crop.
