    Paint time!!!!!!!

    My original plan was a full respray in either Porsche Mexico Blue...



    Or this wierd jeep green color...





    But................ looking over the parts car I noticed all the panels were in amazing shape. So the decision was made to save a few bucks and have my chassis painted to match the panels off the parts Miata. So there you go... Black... its going to be black!!! I was leaning on the Mexico Blue color but the price difference to have half a car painted vs a full car swayed my decision. Boring I know but Still to this day Im happy with my decision.

    Once the weather warmed up I tore my shit box apart.







    I had a glass guy come out and remove the front and rear glass. My windshield was scratched and rock chipped so it was replace after paint and body work.

    Ken is the owner of the Garage Star. He is fairly local and I see him once a month or so.

    Yup... Great company, I ordered the airbag defeat thing and had the wrong address on my paypal so when I didnt get it after a few weeks I called. I think it was Ken I spoke to. Even though it was my stupidity he sent me another one free of charge. Their skid plate and engine lift plate things are on my list of "things to buy"

    One thing I did cheap out on was an Ebay volt muffler for $160 bucks. Its not loud, doesnt look like a fart can and is far better looking than a rusty stock muffler hanging off the back.



    The 23 year old hardtop I bought had some deep scratches on the glass (from someone dropping it in rocks Is my guess) so I made the decision to buy a new non defrost window and seal from Mazda. I knew if I left the scratched glass in that after paint it would be an eye sore so purchases were made. Even my GF agreed on this purchase
